Passaic Mayor Hector Lora told residents in a video posted on Facebook to stay away from the area and keep their windows closed. The fire chief also said much of the building where the fire originated has collapsed within itself. Water from the nearby river was being used to supplement the supply for firefighters.
New York City Emergency Management sent a notification Friday night saying residents might see or smell smoke from the fire.
