“It will not die,” one responder told CLIFFVIEW PILOT from the scene of the seven-alarm blaze around 4 a.m. The fire, which began around 9 o’clock Saturday night, brought departments from 17 towns and forced a mile-long stretch of highway closed from the Little Ferry circle to Teterboro Airport. Several nearby homes were evacuated.
No deaths or injuries were reported at Heaven Is a Spa on Route 46 West (aka Sylvan Avenue).
“Considering the fire and smoke, it was crazy,” one observer told CLIFFVIEW PILOT around 3:30 a.m. Sunday. “It’s huge.”
The blaze, just north of Liberty Street near Summit Avenue, engulfed the two-story building.

It began around 9 p.m. as a report of heavy smoke, one emergency responder said.
But then “all of a sudden it just took off,” he said.
Before long, “fire was shooting through the roof.”
