The Boonton Fire Department responded to the report of smoke coming from a Mountain Lakes home around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 29, the squad said.

Upon arrival, crews confirmed a fire in the basement and with heavy smoke billowing from the garage and the ‘D’ side of the home, the department said.

Crews immediately went to work, kicking down the basement door to gain access to the blaze before dousing it with several hoses.

Meanwhile, additional firefighters conducted a search of the area, pulled extra lines for more water supply, and checked to see if the blaze had spread.

Crews performed overhaul after finding and dousing a small amount of extension to the upper floors and cleared the scene a short time later.

Fire departments in Mountain Lakes, Boonton Township, and Morris Plains also assisted.

“Great job by all involved,” the Boonton Fire Department said.
