At approximately 6pm this evening NMFD was dispatched to Oradell for a structure fire. The fire was quickly elevated to a 3rd alarm due to heavy fire conditions on the front of the residence as well as throughout the 1st floor, 2nd floor, and attic. Tower 31, Engine 34, and Squad 36 responded and assisted with fire attack, overhaul, utility control, and air cascade operations. Units operated on scene until approximately 9pm when the fire was deemed under control. Due to the quick actions of the OPD and first arriving units one party was removed from the structure and transported to an area hospital. Our thoughts are with the victim and their family in this difficult time.
