On July 30, 2026, at approximately 3:52 p.m., Clifton Fire Protection District responded to the area of 32 Road and Highview Road for a reported residential structure fire.

Upon arrival, crews found the front porch fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters quickly initiated an aggressive fire attack, preventing the fire from extending further into the residence.

There were no reported civilian or firefighter injuries.
