    At 12:02 hours, Oradell FD was dispatched to Hensler Lane for a reported fire.  First arriving units found an outside fire near an outside electrical outlet on the side of the house.  A quick knock down was made by the first arriving engine company resulting in no extension.  River Edge FD, New Milford FD, and Paramus Truck 1 were also dispatched to the scene.  All units operated on scene for about 45 minutes.

    Smoke in the Basement

    Oradell units kept busy today with 3 runs, the last being a small electrical fire in the basement.  Units responded to the 400 block of Kinderkamack Road at 20:50 hours for a strong odor of smoke in the building.  Oradell Chief 20, 201, Engine 23, 24, Squad 22 and Tower 21 responded.  Units confirmed a moderate smoke condition in the basement.  Crews located a sewage backup which caused several appliances plugged in on the floor to short out.  After a quick vent all units were up in about 25 minutes.
