Problems with the HVAC unit atop the West Passaic Street building sent the moderate to heavy smoke into the clerk’s office and parts of the first and second floor.

PSE&G was summoned to cut all power.

Saddle Brook firefighters provided a ladder to the roof. Maywood also responded.

Borough officials were notified, and the Building Department was on scene to inspect.
