This morning at 7:23am the Hawthorne Fire Department was dispatched to the Hawthorne Tire Center at 136 Goffle Rd for a possible fire. Chief 50 arrived and reported a working fire in a 2.5 story residential over commercial auto body shop. As companies arrived they were met with heavy black smoke showing from the auto body shop. Crews from Squad 3, Engine 4, and Truck 2 attempted an interior attack but were shortly pushed out by heavy fire conditions while Engine 1 and Rescue 5 began searches of the apartments above. As fire rapidly spread throughout the building additional alarms were called to assist in extinguishing the fire. Companies worked until after 12pm to fully extinguish the fire and assistance with clean up of the fluids that had spilled into the street from the shop. We thank our mutual aid from Glen Rock, North Haledon, Fair Lawn, Haledon, Prospect Park, Ridgewood, Paterson, Wyckoff, Midland Park, Paramus, and Hackensack for their assistance on scene. Thanks to Clifton, Franklin Lakes, Wayne, and Waldwick for covering the Borough. Thank you to our PD, Ladies Auxiliary, Hawthorne EMS, County Rehab Canteen, Passaic County Sheriffs Hazmat and EMS, Citywide Towing, and Passaic and Bergen County fire coordinators for their assistance.

Heavy rain is expected to impact our area this afternoon/evening. Flooding is likely. Remember the depth of water and what’s underneath are unknown so help us and yourself by staying out of any flood waters whether walking or driving.
