Written by Sunday’s 14-alarm fire in Belleville, New Jersey, took out an entire block. Several dozen fire departments were needed to put out the blaze. Two firefighters were treated overnight for smoke inhalation and exhaustion, but, miraculously, no one else was hurt. Twenty hours after the fire broke out, smoke was still visible on Monday afternoon and the air quality wasn’t good. Mayor Michael Melham said the fire started in a mattress factory at 347 Cortlandt St., and spread to each side of the building.
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
