NEW YORK – A raging fire erupted behind a commercial building in New Jersey early Monday, engulfing about a half-dozen buses that a company linked to management said were chartered for the 96th annual Thanksgiving Day Parade. Thanks to Macy’s in New York City this week.
It was not immediately clear what sparked the fire in Kearny, which broke out near an industrial complex on the Lincoln Highway just before 6 in the morning.
Our 47 Helicopter captured the flames issuing from the compound as the first firefighters arrived on site before dawn. Apparently at least six or seven buses were destroyed.
A company of the address linked to the fire has identified itself as the owner of the vehicles. He said he was hired to provide trailers for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in Manhattan on Thursday.
No other details were immediately available.
