Watchung EMS, Firefighters Assist in Warren Fire

Watchung volunteers provided support as Warren firefighters extinguished an attic fire on Mountainview Road 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.

Warren 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 firefighter resucitation needed because of the heat, but Chief LoSapio said no injuries were reported.

The fire was discovered by the homeowner returning home and discovering the fire.

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