Mountainview Road Attic Fire Quickly Extinguished

An attic fire on Mountainview Road was quickly extinguished late Wednesday night.

The fire in the home, which was located about 150 feet off Mountainview Road, was reported when the resident returned home at about 9:40 p.m.

With some already in trucks, returning from weekly training exercises, the firefighters responded to the fire in time to prevent it from spreading.

Fire Chief Michael LoSapio said about 45 or 50 volunteer firefighters were on scene at the fire, with all Warren fire companies, and Liberty Corner Fire Co., responding. Warren and Watchung rescue squads were on hand to provide any needed firefighter resucitation needed because of the heat, but Cheif LoSapio said no injuries were reported.

Firefighters from Watchung and Berkeley Heights provided assistance, standing by in the event any other fires were reported.
