No injuries were reported in the Avenue D blaze, which initially broke out just after 5:30 a.m. Monday and was contained to the upper floor.
Lodi firefighters, who were assisted by their colleagues from Hackensack, Saddle Brook and Wallington, returned three hours later to extinguish the rekindled flames.
The Lodi Fire Prevention Bureau was investigating to determine the cause.
