Six-Alarm Warehouse Fire Prompts Air Quality Concerns in Roselle Park

A large warehouse fire in Roselle Park, New Jersey, worried officials and caused them to warn neighbors about the air quality on Thursday night.

Local officials say a warehouse-like property on 140 Valley Road started fire at 4:45 p.m. The six-alarm fire became worse, but rescue workers improved their response, demonstrating how serious the problem was and how many resources were needed.

Roselle Park mayor Joseph Signorello Jr. said Crossfield Products Corp. creates flooring and coatings there. Plant products polluted the air and smoke.

Firefighters noticed strong flames and smoke during combat. Because of the fire’s enormity, numerous fire units had to work simultaneously, making the operation complicated and difficult for first responders.

Local officials prioritize public safety while monitoring the situation. Residents had to follow government directives as personnel extinguished the fire and handled the situation.

When they reported, officials prioritized firefighting and community safety. Injury and damage information was limited to the fire’s location and business.

Large-scale industrial fires require immediate action and clear communication to protect air quality and public health. While firemen extinguish the fire, authorities investigate.
