PARSIPPANY — A smoke condition coming from the furnace was called in at 112 Hiawatha Boulevard at approximately 7:00 p.m. on Monday, October 19. Upon arrival of firefighters they discovered a “working fire”.
Lake Hiawatha Volunteer Fire District 4, Parsippany-Troy Hills Volunteer Fire Department 5, Parsippany-Troy Hills Volunteer Fire District 6 and Boonton’s Rapid Intervention Team arrived at the scene along with Rockaway Neck’s First Aid Squad.
Shortly thereafter it was identified to be an “attic incident” with smoke pushing from eaves on the house.
The firemen stretched a hose through the front door of the home. Parsippany-Troy Hills Rescue and Recovery was called to the scene with the air truck to fill air bottles.
The building inspector and board of health were requested to the scene since the home was deemed uninhabitable.
The residents are staying at a friend’s home located on North Beverwcyk Road. There were no injuries reported.
The home is owned by Newbridge Services, a non-profit organization.
