The fire is believed to have begun in the basement and spread upward through the walls of the George Street home off Canterbury Place -- just a couple blocks from the firehouse on East Glen Avenue -- around 9:45 a.m. April 17.
Firefighters had the flames doused within a half-hour.
The 2½-story wood-frame house was left with heavy smoke and water damage, however, rendering it uninhabitable.
Mutual aid that Daily Voice was told responded included Ho-Ho-Kus, Midland Park, Waldwick and Wyckoff firefighters. Ridgewood Emergency Services also sent a rig.
