PARSIPPANY — At approximately 8:00 p.m. on Monday, November 14 the Parsippany Police Department’s Communication Center received a 911 call reporting a structure fire at a residence on Tarn Drive.
Multiple police officers and along with Mount Tabor Fire Department (Primary Fire District), Lake Parsippany Fire Department, Cedar Knolls RIC Team, Morris Plains Fire Department, and the Parsippany Volunteer Ambulance responded to the scene.
All occupants safely evacuated from the residence prior to arrival of responding units. Morris County Sheriff’s Department Crime Scene Investigative unit responded to the scene to assist in the investigation. Parsippany Rescue and Recovery responded to the scene and secured the exterior of the structure once the fire was extinguished. This incident is still under investigation by Parsippany Fire Investigator Detective M. Czajka.
Parsippany Rescue and Recovery was at the scene and boarded up the house. American Red Cross was called to help the family with temporary housing.
The fire was at the home of Bob and Carol Visoskas. Bob, Carol, Kyle, Danielle and Jenna are all fine but now going thru the first phases of getting back to some level of normal living. While insurance will hopefully cover most of the rebuilding, Bob and his family will have some immediate needs that insurance does not cover, while they sort out housing for the next few months and the holiday season.
The Visoskas family will need many things in the days to come such as household goods, clothes, gift cards and possibly furniture.
