YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: What apparently began as a fire behind a washing machine destroyed a Fair Lawn home this morning. No major injuries were reported.
The call to the 30th street residence came in around 10:30 a.m.
Flames spread quickly and blew through the roof.
The blaze was brought under control within a half hour but flared up and blew through the roof again, collapsing it.
Firefighters from Elmwood Park and Saddle Brook joined their Fair Lawn colleagues. All units were cleared by 1 p.m.
