Firefighters Battle Train Fire

WALDWICK: Just before 10pm the WFD was dispatched for a reported train on fire in the area of the train station. Arriving units found an active fire in a hopper car. Engine 631 laid a supply line into the Transit lot and supplied one 2 1/2 hand line and also the tower ladder. Truck 641 set up the bucket and extinguished the fire from above. Bergen County Haz Mat also responded and took readings of the water run off and air samplings. WALVAC also stood by at the scene. All trains were held in both directions due to the incident.
