6-7-2026. Structure Fire.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

On Sunday, June 7, 2026, the Bloomingdale Police Department and Bloomingdale Fire Department responded to a reported garage structure fire on James Street.

Upon arrival, officers observed heavy smoke coming from a detached garage and were informed that two dogs were inside the residence. Fortunately, it was later discovered that no residents were home at the time of the fire, and no civilian injuries were reported. An off-duty Garfield Police Department officer, with the assistance of Bloomingdale police officers, immediately entered the smoke-filled structure and successfully rescued both dogs, as well as a chicken, bringing all three animals to safety.

The Bloomingdale Fire Department, along with neighboring fire departments, worked tirelessly to extinguish the fire and prevent it from spreading to the residence and surrounding properties, ultimately containing the incident to the garage. Tri-Boro First Aid Squad, Pequannock First Aid Squad, and the Bloomingdale Ladies Auxiliary responded to provide rehabilitation services and support for emergency personnel operating at the scene.

As a result of their actions during the incident, two Bloomingdale police officers were transported to Chilton Hospital for evaluation and treatment of smoke inhalation. Both officers are expected to make a full recovery.

Assisting agencies included, but were not limited to, the Butler Fire Department, Kinnelon Fire Department, Riverdale Fire Department, Pompton Lakes Fire Department, and Wanaque Fire Department.

The Bloomingdale Police Department would like to thank all responding agencies for their professionalism, teamwork, and dedication throughout this emergency. The coordinated efforts of all responders helped protect nearby homes, ensure the safety of residents and emergency personnel, and contribute to the successful rescue of the animals.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

5-25-2026 Structure Fire.

On Memorial Day afternoon, the Bloomingdale Police Department received a 9-1-1 call reporting an active fire at the Treetop Apartment Complex located off Macopin Road. While officers were en route, the caller advised that a female resident had re-entered the apartment in an attempt to retrieve her cats.

Upon arrival, officers encountered heavy smoke conditions coming from the residence. Officers immediately breached the doorway and began calling out for the resident to exit the apartment. As officers attempted to make entry, they were quickly overtaken by heavy black smoke, making conditions unsafe and preventing further access to the interior. For their safety, officers were forced to retreat from the apartment.

Shortly thereafter, the Bloomingdale Fire Department arrived on scene and was advised that a resident remained trapped inside. Firefighters breached a window, successfully rescued one cat, and later located the unresponsive resident inside the apartment. The resident was removed from the building by Bloomingdale FD and immediately treated on scene by Tri-Boro First Aid Squad and Atlantic ALS personnel. The resident was later transported by Hackensack Meridian Helicopter to Saint Barnabas Medical Center for further medical treatment.

During the incident, four deceased cats were also located inside the apartment. All five cats were taken into the custody of Bloomingdale Animal Control.

Additionally, three Bloomingdale Police Department officers were transported to Chilton Hospital for evaluation and treatment related to smoke inhalation sustained while attempting to rescue the resident.

The Bloomingdale Police Department would like to thank all responding agencies for their swift response and assistance during this, including the Bloomingdale Fire Department, Butler Police Department, Butler Fire Department, Riverdale Police Department, Riverdale Fire Department,Kinnelon Fire Department, West Milford Fire Department, Wanaque Fire Department, Pompton Lakes Fire Department, Tri-Boro First Aid Squad, Pompton/Riverdale EMS, Atlantic ALS, Morris County EMS, Bloomingdale Fire Ladies Auxiliary and Hackensack Meridian Helicopter.
