## Resource

A deadly storm in River Edge tore through Saturday night, snapping trees and sending live power lines crashing onto homes—igniting a catastrophic house fire and sparking basement infernos in two neighboring homes. Firefighters battled explosive arcing wires and low water pressure, eventually containing the blaze by 2 AM Sunday. Two first responders suffered minor injuries, but the scene left behind burned cars, downed trees, and road closures—a chilling reminder of nature’s fury and the bravery of those who confront it.
