Firefighters from Franklin Lakes, Mahwah, Pompton Lakes, Waldwick and Wyckoff assisted their Oakland colleagues.

Ramapo Valley Road was temporarily closed between Navajo Way and Franklin Avenue.

The cause remained under investigation, although authorities don't believe it was suspicious, Oakland Police Lt. Christian Eldridge said.
