NEW SQUARE – Fire Saturday morning destroyed an apartment at 38 Lincoln Ave Avenue in the Village of New Square. Ramapo Police were alerted to the blaze shortly after 8 a.m. when a homeowner called 911 screaming that there was a fire.
The fire appears to have started in a first floor bathroom and spread into the hallway and an adjacent room.
There were no injuries.
Hillcrest firefighters extinguished the flames. There was extensive damage to the apartment and the couple who was living there will be staying with family. The other occupants of the building were not affected and were able to return to their homes.
