A massive fire in New Jersey sent smoke billowing over New York City Wednesday morning, though firefighters got it under control without any injuries.
Chopper 4 was over the scene of the 5-alarm blaze on Bergenline Avenue in West New York. It broke out around 4:30 a.m. and drew a significant response from local fire companies.
By 6 a.m. roofs were collapsing, but by 7 a.m. firefighters had the conflagration largely under control. North Hudson fire officials said five businesses were impacted, but everyone in the residential portion of the buildings was evacuated safely.
Nonetheless, the smoke was still well evident over the city, as the plume traveled due east across the Hudson River and could be seen over the Upper West Side.
The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office said the county’s arson task force was responding to the fire; it was not immediately clear why.
