Bloomingdale, NJ – Two Woman Confirmed Dead Following House Fire on Hamburg Tpk

Bloomingdale, NJ (August 30, 2022) – On Tuesday, August 30th, two women died during a ferocious house fire in Passaic County. 

According to a local source, at about 7:30 a.m., the three-alarm blaze began in the basement of a two-story, wood-frame home perched atop a long, steep driveway on Hamburg Turnpike, directly across from the Stumble Inn, a local restaurant and bar, in Bloomingdale. 

One victim was located shortly after firefighters responded to the scene. The second victim was found just before the fire was announced under control around 9:30 a.m. 

The cause of the fatal fire has not been officially determined.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased victims at this time.

Liability for Structure Fires in New Jersey 

Some of the main causes of house fires in New Jersey include:  

• Defective appliances
• Obsolete or worn electrics
• Broken or incorrectly installed gas lines
• Obstructed chimney flues
• Faulty or broken furnaces or boilers

Along with establishing the source of the fire, it is critical to determine if the action or inaction of another person or entity played a role in either the cause of the fire itself or a resident’s inability to flee the residence to safety. 

If investigators are able to determine that an outside party was in fact negligent, an injured victim would have a valid claim against the liable party.
