January 16, 2009 - At approx 2100 hrs, the Little Ferry Fire Department was dispatched for a reported smoke from a building on Rt. 46. Upon arrival of Little Ferry Police and Fire they found heavy smoke and fire coming from "Heaven Is A Spa" located at 230 Rt. 46. A second alarm was quickly transmitted. Heavy fire conditions continued as it vented through the roof leading a total roof collapse of the 1 story part of the building. 3rd and 4th alarms were transmitted at approx 2155 hrs with 3 tower ladders and 1 ladder pipe in operation. Heavy fire continutes to take over the 1 story section and now threatens the 2 story attached exposure as heavy smoke is pushing.

Was the exposure attached or adjacent? Was there an attempt at preventing fire spread from within the exposure?
