NJ fire near The RealReal warehouse causes gray smoke to fill sky, video shows

NEW JERSEY (PIX11)– A warehouse fire near the luxury reseller The RealReal caused a thick cloud of smoke to be seen coming from atop a building in Secaucus, New Jersey, Friday afternoon, according to video footage from AIR11.

According to building records, the warehouse also houses other operating businesses in the area.

“We can confirm there was a fire on the roof adjacent to one of our Secaucus warehouses,” said Jessica Fortier, senior vice president of operations at The RealReal. “We’re relieved to report everyone is safe. We do not anticipate any impact on our inventory. We are working with the building owners to understand what happened.”

Firefighters were seen pouring water on the fire, but it is unclear what sparked the incident, according to Citizen App video.

A heavy fire burned through multiple skylights on the roof. Due to the light weight of the roof and the fire burning through it, the fire spread quickly, Fred Schneider, the chief of the Seacauus Fire Department, said.

Firefighters from surrounding New Jersey towns also aided in extinguishing the blaze.
