Moonachie Police Officers Christopher Inserra and Kelly Ricardo arrived less than a minute after the 5:07 a.m. call at the Metropolitan Mobile Home park on Moonachie Road and removed the disabled resident from the front porch, Sgt. Jeff Napolitano said.
They then evacuated the complex, as the woman’s home became engulfed, the sergeant said.
The blaze was put down by Moonachie firefighters, with assistance from their colleagues from Wood-Ridge, Little Ferry, Carlstadt, and South Hackensack.
Several surrounding homes sustained exterior heat and water damage but didn’t catch fire, Napolitano said.
No injuries were reported.
