Hillside New Jersey

Firefighters arrived to heavy fire conditions on the second floor of a Hillside home yesterday evening were a person was reportedly trapped.

Crews were dispatched to the 100 block of Ryan Street for a structure fire at approximately 8: 30 p.m. Wednesday night.  

Upon arrival units found heavy fire conditions on second floor immediately and aggressively stretching hose lines into the home for an interior attack. 

Reports of a person possibly still inside had crews searching the fire building which turned out negative. 

Even though crews had water problems on the outside, it did not affect interior crews from battling the  fire inside.

Crews with the assistance of mutual aid from surrounding towns contained the fire to the second floor of the home.

No firefighters or civilians suffered injuries.
