Paterson second alarm

This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

At approximately 3:30 am on 11/10/24, Paterson companies responded to 68 East 20th St. for a reported building fire. Crews arrived on scene to find a heavy fire in a vacant 2.5-story wood-frame. Deputy 1 transmitted a 2nd alarm due to heavy fire conditions and exposure issues. An outside attack was issued using outside lines and Ladder 1's tower ladder master stream to knock down the fire. The building collapsed during the operation. Both exposure buildings were kept in check and no fire extension was reported. The fire was under control a few hours later.
