02-20-12 - Paterson Rubbish Fire - Grand St

On Monday, February 20th 2012 while traveling westbound on Route 80, I located a column of smoke visible from Grand St. I traced the smoke to a rear lot behind a vacant pool facility on Grand St a few addresses away from Engine 7. Companies gained entry through a locked gate to find a large pile of rubbish and brush burning. Suspect fled prior to anyone's arrival.
