A large fire that tore through an industrial complex in Passaic has been contained but not yet extinguished.
Fire Chief Patrick Trentacost told News 12 that dozens of firefighters are still on the scene working on hotspots.
The fire ignited a storage space housing chlorine pellets and threatened to burn into a chemical factory.
By the time firefighters arrived, the building housing Majestic Industries was engulfed in flame. There were concerns of the blaze spreading to the adjacent chlorine factory and posing a potential air quality hazard to those nearby.
