Early Arrival at 2-Alarm 24-Story High-Rise Fire | East Orange, NJ

Around 9:35PM, the East Orange Fire Department was dispatched to 175 Prospect St in East Orange, NJ for reports of a fire in a 24-story multiple dwelling with alarms sounding throughout the building. Callers reported smoke inside the building and possible fire conditions on the roof. First due companies reported smoke and embers visible from the roof upon arrival. Crews began ascending the building and encountered heavy smoke conditions from the 19th floor and above, initially unable to locate the seat of the fire. Upon reaching the roof, crews located fire and smoke coming from a shaft area. A request was made to check the basement and garbage chute for extension, and lines were stretched to both the roof and basement. Basement crews located fire within the garbage chute area and knocked it down with a handline. Simultaneously, roof crews operated their line from the top down, extinguishing the remaining fire within the shaft. There was no reported extension beyond the involved areas and no reported injuries. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
