Work was being done on the former site of Bakkafrost, one of the world's largest fish-farming companies, when the fire apparently broke out on the second floor and then shot through a roof vent shortly after 5 p.m. March 17, responders said.

Firefighters were barely 20 minutes into the job when they were pulled from the softening roof and relied on ladder trucks.

And just in time, as an inner ceiling collapsed.

No injuries were reported.

Clifton, Passaic and Paterson firefighters provided mutual aid for the blaze, which went to three alarms for coverage. The Passaic County Volunteer Emergency Service Rehab Canteen Unit provided canteen service for the first responders.

The fire rekindled late Saturday morning and was doused within an hour.
