PASSAIC, N.J.—A massive fire engulfed a northern New Jersey recycling plant overnight and raged into Saturday as firefighters battled flames, frigid cold, and wind. Officials warned it could burn for days.
The blaze broke out around midnight at the Atlantic Coast Fibers plant in Passaic, sending flames shooting into the dark as more than two dozen fire departments converged to fight them, officials said. There were at least two explosions, one involving a truck with gas tanks on it, Mayor Hector Lora said.
