VIDEO: Firefighters continued their efforts through the day Thursday following a devastating fire that destroyed the Marcal Paper Mills facility in Elmwood Park. The fire broke out at about 5 p.m. Wednesday at the plant on Market Street and went to eight alarms. Huge paper rolls in the warehouse were fully engulfed in flames, and the roof collapsed. All emergency responders were pulled from the building for safety reasons. The fire spread to propane tanks and other combustibles. Firefighters eventually decided to just let the fire burn itself out though it continued to smolder throughout the day. Black smoke could be seen from as far away as Route 80 in Hackensack. About 300 firefighters responded, but the strong wind and frigid temperatures made their efforts that much more difficult. There have been no reports of injuries. Firefighters from at least 50 localities in the area responded.
