On February 27th, 2010 shortly before 1800 hours, Roselle, NJ firefighters were dispatched to the Roselle Paper Company at 615 East First Avenue on a report of a fire in the structure. Shortly after arrival, a Second Alarm was transmitted for a working fire in the interconnected buildings of the paper factory. At one point, fire companies requested permission to shut down the fixed fire protection system to assist in locating the seat of the fire.

Units had the fire, which involved bails of paper, controlled in less than an hour. Mutual aid was provided at the scene by Linden, Cranford, Roselle Park, Elizabeth, and Kenilworth fire departments. Mutual Aid move-ups and on-scene companies were supported by the Union County OEM’s Mutual Aid Coordinators.
