First responders found a fire in a machine as well as on the roof from a vent pipe at Triangle Manufacturing on Park Way in Upper Saddle River, five or so miles south of the Rockland County border, at 4:15 a.m., borough firefighters said.

They quickly extinguished the fire, which was declared under control about 40 minutes later.
