On Wednesday, April 11th 2012 the Passaic NJ Fire Department responded to 105 Sherman Ave on a reported fire. First arriving companies reporting smoke showing from a 2.5sty 2-family dwelling and called a working fire. Crews advanced lines into a basement fire however the fire had already been extending into the first floor through the walls. As conditions deteriorated, a 2nd alarm was requested and heavy fire advancement caused firefighters to begin bailing out of the windows. A 3rd alarm was later called as exterior operations continued until place PWH about 2 hours later.
