At 11:34 hours Monday Morning, a Drury Lane homeowner contacted the police desk reporting a smoke condition in her residence with the smoke alarms sounding.  Wyckoff Police and fire departments were immediately dispatched.

Upon the arrival of the first Wyckoff Police Officer, the officer was reporting heavy smoke in the area.  Chief Murphy #230 signed into service and received the update.  Upon confirmation of a confirmed smoke condition in the residence and a possible garage fire, Chief Murphy requested a second alarm assignment into the Township.

Engine #231, Tower Ladder #241, Engine #232, Engine #233 and Rescue #242 all signed into service shortly after dispatch.  Engine #231 came into the scene and established a water supply.  By this point, Chief Murphy reported an active garage fire with extension into the floor above.  Interior crews stretched handlines into the structure to attack the main body of fire.  Upon the arrival of Tower Ladder #241, truck crews immediately went to the roof creating a vent for the interior attack crews.

2nd alarm units arrived on scene and were quickly put to work assisting the Wyckoff Crews with the attack and overhaul.   The fire was placed under control within 35 minutes of dispatch.

Mutual aid companies operating at the scene included Waldwick, Ramsey, Franklin Lakes, Hohokus, Oakland, Hawthorne, Allendale and Mahwah. 

Great job by everyone involved for making a quick stop!
