Less than a month after the “big one” consumed most of the plant, Tuesday’s blaze broke out in a five-story building on River Drive near the intersection of Summit Avenue.
"The building involved is located north of the New York Susquehanna Rail Road tracks and was not previously involved in the fire that occurred on January 30th," Borough Administrator/Police Chief Michael Foligno said.
The fire shot to three alarms – with some minor explosions -- but was knocked down nearly as quickly and under control in roughly 40 minutes.
Firefighters from Fair Lawn, Lodi, Maywood, Rochelle Park and Saddle Brook were among those who joined their Elmwood Park colleagues.
A Bergen County Hazardous Materials Unit also was requested as a precaution.
No injuries were reported, Foligno said.
