Montclair NJ 2nd alarm, 192 Inwood Ave. 09-25-22

On September 25th just around 13:00 Montclair Fire Dispatch started receiving numerous calls for a house fire at the intersection of Norwood Ave and Inwood Ave. While enroute the chief reported a large column of smoke visible and on arrival reported heavy fire venting out the windows on the 1st floor of the large 3 story frame multiple dwelling. Companies were able to quickly knock down the main body of fire on the 1st floor but as companies opened up, fire was discovered traveling the walls. A 2nd alarm was transmitted about 15 minutes into the fire bringing much needed additional manpower to assist with opening up as heavy smoke was pushing from the attic. After a very aggressive interior attack with lots of truck work to open up the walls and roof, the fire was placed under control at 14:20.
