Borough fire officials are investigating a predawn fire Saturday that started in a basement apartment and shot flames into the top floors of a home housing three tenants.
The tenant of the basement apartment at 7 Foster St. was not at home when the fire started about 4:15 a.m., said Bergenfield Deputy Fire Chief Edward Kneisler. Smoke alarms awakened the two other tenants in the building and they were not injured.
Police confiscated two cases of ammunition that firefighters discovered in a fenced-off lot adjacent to the burning house, Kneisler said. The ammunition was not near the flames, he said. No details were immediately available.
Bergenfield firefighters received assistance from Closter firefighters, while the Dumont department was on standby and Teaneck provided support services.
