Hasbrouck Heights, NJ (June 10, 2026) – Two civilians and a firefighter were taken to the hospital after a fire broke out at a car dealership complex on Industrial Avenue in Hasbrouck Heights Tuesday evening, June 9. The blaze started shortly after 7 p.m.
The fire apparently ignited inside a car within one of the dealerships at the Industrial Avenue complex. Emergency units knocked the flames down quickly. The two-alarm fire drew mutual aid from several surrounding municipalities.
One of the two civilians was taken to Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, a facility that treats severely burned patients. Witnesses reported seeing the person carried out of the building by responders. No immediate word on the condition of those hurt was available.
The fire remains under investigation by Hasbrouck Heights borough fire investigators.
We hope all three people hurt make a full recovery.
Legal Rights After Property Fires in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
Fires that break out in commercial spaces can cause some of the most serious injuries that a person can sustain. Burns are among the most physically and financially costly injuries tied to these events, and frequently require specialized treatment, extended hospital stays, and long-term rehabilitation. New Jersey residents hurt in fires caused by another party’s negligence may have legal options.
Burn victims usually face medical bills that accumulate quickly. Treatment at a specialized burn center can involve skin grafting, infection management, and ongoing wound care. Beyond the immediate hospitalization, many people require occupational therapy and scarring treatment for months or years. Lost wages during recovery add another layer of financial strain that is easy to underestimate in the early days after a fire.
Many parties can be held liable, such as a property owner, a vehicle manufacturer, or a business operator. When a fire is caused by a negligent party, a personal injury attorney can help evaluate whether a liability claim is viable.
Bergen County roadways, commercial corridors and the stretch of industrially zoned streets that run through Hasbrouck Heights and neighboring Moonachie see consistent vehicle and business activity. Property owners in these areas have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for people on their premises.
