Warren Home Under Construction Catches Fire

WARREN, NJ — Warren firefighters battled an early morning blaze on Wednesday at a home that appeared to be under construction, Warren Fire Chief Jim Mitchell said.

The fire was reported around 3:50 a.m. at a home at 2 Timber Ridge Rd. Firefighters were able to control the fire quickly with smoke and some fire damage, according to Mitchell.

"I would classify this as a very successful fire response," Mitchell said. "The fire department was alerted before the home was fully engulfed, which gave us some opportunity to mount an effective fire attack."

There were no injuries reported and the home appeared to be under construction at the time of the fire, Mitchell said.

Multiple mutual aid companies were called and helped at the scene including Finderne Fire Department and Liberty Corner Fire Company.
