Post-Christmas Passaic Fire Ravages One Home, Damages Others

A Sunday fire ripped through one Passaic home and extended to others on either side.

The heavily-involved blaze on Harrison Street near Myrtle Avenue began as two alarms at around 9:15 a.m.

Heavy fire in the rear of the building eventually began consuming the rest of the 2½-family house -- eventually blowing through the roof -- while spreading to two others.
