Arcing Electrical Line Causes Glen Rock Fire

GLEN ROCK, NJ — An arcing power line caused a brush fire on Route 208 North Sunday afternoon.

Chief Thomas Jennings and Assistant Chief Art Zanotti arrived at the scene and Engine 833 extinguished it, fire officials said.

Firefighters from Hawthorne and Fair Lawn also responded to the scene because reports varied on the fire's exact location, officials said.

It is the second time this weekend an arcing electrical current caused a fire.

An arcing utility line caused a fire late Friday night near Maple Avenue and Bedford Place, authorities said.
