Flames had spread from the second floor to the attic when firefighters responded to an 8:11 call at the 2½-story wood-frame home on Fair Street just off Lodi and East State streets on Sunday, April 3, Hackensack Fire Capt. Justin Derevyanik said.

They had the two-alarm fire knocked down within an hour and placed under control around 9:30 a.m., he said.

Both an occupant and a firefighter sustained minor injuries for which they were treated at Hackensack University Medical Center, Derevyanik said.

No other injuries were reported.

Mutual aid responders either at the scene or in coverage included firefighters from Bergenfield, Bogota, Englewood, Maywood, Ridgefield Park and Teaneck (If any are missing from this list, please text (201) 943-2794 or email gerardjdemarco@gmail.com).
