MOUNT OLIVE, NJ — The Long Valley First Aid Squad assisted as firefighters fought a second-alarm blaze Sunday morning in Mount Olive. Agencies responded to heavy fire conditions in a building at Route 206 and Flanders Netcong Road.

Photos show heavy fire emerging from the building before sunrise:

Officials got the fire under control, hitting hot spots after because of collapsed areas in the building. Investigation crews came in after the fire was extinguished, and all fire crews were released shortly after 2 p.m. Sunday.
