A firefighter was injured in Tuesday night's blaze that struck a trash-transfer station building with as many as 10 trucks inside, according to New Jersey State Police.
The fire was reported at 6:57 p.m. at Sanico Inc., 5 Hutchinson Station Road in Harmony Township, state police spokesman Sgt. First Class Gregory Williams said.
The fire struck an old barn converted into a garage for trash trucks, he said.
It was out as of about 10:15 p.m., and authorities had reopened Belvidere Road (Route 519) after closing it because of the fire and response, Williams said.
The state police Arson/Bomb Unit plans to resume its investigation into the fire Wednesday morning, Williams said. Warren County fire Marshal Joe Lake said he'd be at the scene in the morning, as well.
The firefighter suffered a leg injury and was taken to St. Luke's Hospital, Phillipsburg, according to state police.
Sanico is a residential and commercial trash collector, and the Harmony facility is a waste-transfer station set in an old gravel pit, township Mayor Brian Tipton said.
