Report Of Smoke In A House

Posted on November 23, 2008
At 1609 hrs, the Bergenfield FD was dispatched on a general alarm assignment for a report of smoke in a house at 82 S. Demarest Avenue.  Deputy Chief Kniesler arrived first and reported smoke in the house, but no fire visible.  Chief Gomez arrived on scene and assumed command and had the truck company enter the structure and find the source of the smoke.  The FD operated on scene for a little more then an hour and found the cause of the smoke was a self cleaning oven. 

  The New Milford FD was called for a R.I.T. team and Dumont responded to cover empty firehouses.  The members of the BFD would also like to extend their thanks to Bob and Eva Gallione for all of the coffee, tea and snacks they provided to the members.
