The Bloomingdale Fire Department was dispatched to a reported working structure
fire on Friday February 1st at approximately 7:25 am. Upon entering the complex First
Deputy Fire Chief Mark Lime established command alerting incoming units he had a
fully involved apartment on the 2nd story with fire showing from 3 sides of the structure.
He quickly activated a second alarm for Butler Fire Department and a FAST Team from
Pompton Lakes Fire Department.
Lime requested an aerial master stream to be placed in service from Ladder Company
664 upon arrival. Engine 661 laid a supply line to support master stream operation.
The fire was knocked down rapidly and then interior crews made entry to suppress the
remainder of the fire containing it to the single apartment.
The 2 occupants of the apartment were assessed on scene by Tri Boro First Aid Squad
and were then air lifted to St Barnabas Medical center.
