Massive Commercial Building Fire Valley Road Roselle Park

Описание: Fire Erupts at Crossfield Products Corporation Warehouse on Valley Road

On New Year’s Day, January 1, 2026, a massive six-alarm fire erupted at the Crossfield Products Corporation warehouse located at 140 Valley Road in Roselle Park. The blaze, which began late in the afternoon, drew a multi-agency response from across Union County and sent thick plumes of chemical smoke into the air.

Incident Overview
Time & Location: Firefighters were dispatched at approximately 4:45 PM to the facility near the intersection of Valley Road and Westfield Avenue.

Company Impacted: Crossfield Products Corp., a long-standing local business, manufactures flooring resins, oil-based paints, and specialty coatings.

Intensity: The fire escalated quickly to a 6-alarm response. Witnesses reported seeing heavy fire through the roof and hearing multiple internal explosions, likely caused by propane tanks and volatile chemicals stored inside.

Public Impact and Safety
Evacuations: Because the warehouse is located in a residential area, several nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution. Residents in the west end of town were also urged to shelter in place and keep windows and doors closed due to poor air quality and lingering chemical odors.

Power Outages: A transformer blew during the incident, leaving roughly 500 customers without power until early Friday morning.

Road Closures: Significant closures occurred, including North Avenue in Cranford and streets surrounding the West Westfield Avenue area.

Injuries: Miraculously, no injuries were reported among employees or first responders, as no one was inside the building when the fire started.
