Raw video & radio traffic: Fatal NJ 2-alarm fire with evac order
Raw video and radio traffic from Mike Villanova (homer218) taken Monday during a two-alarm fatal fire around 11:30 p.m. on Miller Avenue in Elmwood Park, New Jersey. At 2:08 into the video an evacuation order is given by command.
Responding officers discovered the house fully engulfed in flames, and thick heavy smoke emanating from the building. They attempted to force entry into the residence, but they were held back by the intense heat and smoke. The roof of the home caved in, forcing firefighters to battle the blaze from outside.
The fire was placed under control in about a half hour, and during the course of fighting the fire, the body of an individual was found in a second-floor bedroom adjacent to the kitchen. The victim, who was deceased and not been positively identified, was located on the floor next to the bed.
