Firefighters remained at the scene in West New York Friday morning, hours after the fire began. Christinafantv reports.
A heavy blanket of smoke lingered over West New York Friday morning, where only a hollow shell of a four-story apartment complex remains - remnants of a stubborn fire that just refused to quit despite the best efforts of firefighters.
The fire originated in the basement of Borinquen Bodega on Madison Street just before 5 p.m. Thursday. Firefighters say it took almost 24 hours to put out because a ruptured gas line was feeding the flames."It's still really not under control now. The exterior walls have been compromised. It was a fire that was unfortunately fed with gas. We had to wait for utilities to shut off before we could extinguish," said David Donnarumma of North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue.
