First responders found a fire in a machine as well as on the roof from a vent pipe at Triangle Manufacturing on Park Way in Upper Saddle River, five or so miles south of the Rockland County border, at 4:15 a.m., borough firefighters said.
They quickly extinguished the fire, which was declared under control about 40 minutes later.
Members of Mahwah Res1cue brought a fan boat to ventilate the large open area.
Also responding were fighters from Allendale, Ramsey, Wyckoff and Tallman, as well as Bergen County mutual aid coordinators and a Northwest Bergen Mutual Aid Association incident safety officer.
Established 66 years ago, family-owned and -operated Triangle Manufacturing makes medical instruments and implantable devices — among them, implantable hip, knee, shoulder and spinal components.
