The fire erupted shortly after 5 a.m. in the one-family home at 22 Macopin Ave. between Valley Road and Park Street, close to the shopping district. It was brought under control about 40 minutes later, and fire investigators at the scene were working to determine the cause at 7:30 a.m.
Not exactly near the shopping district, but we won't quibble. Here's more on upgrades at Montclair Fire Department.
Is this the house that is in "pre-forclosure." If you can't sell it, then burn it down!
