At 10 a.m., firefighters responded to a fire at the Stonehenge building on the 28th floor of 8200 Blvd. East, North Bergen police said. The fire was confined to a single unit, North Bergen Mayor Nicholas Sacco said.
"The North Hudson Regional Fire Department's prompt response effectively prevented the fire from spreading to adjacent units," Sacco said.
To rescue an individual on the 28th floor, firefighters rapelled down from the 29th floor, Sacco said. The resident was safely transported to a hospital out of caution, police said.
