Hoboken Fire near 13th & Willow (or Park)
At 9:30pm tonight Hoboken Fire Department was dispatched to the area of 13th & Willow with reports of a fire. At first they though the Sunoco Gas station was on fire – but now they think the warehouse building at 1302 or 1304 Park Ave. may be the one on fire.

Madison Street Fire was wind-swept

Hoboken Visuals: Madison Street Fire on 2/17
Here’s a short video clip of yesterday’s Madison Street Fire in Hoboken sent in by Hoboken411 reader David. He took it from over the border in nearby Jersey City.
You can see how the wind definitely played a role in the intensity of the fire. Surprised no “fire alerts” were issued.
Explosion the cause or just an affect of the Madison St. fire?
Several residents heard a “loud explosion” prior to realizing a fire had broken out. While the fire was initially labeled as caused by cigarettes (according to one resident who lived in one of the buildings), other theories are that a propane tank could have been involved. But it’s uncertain if those explosions were just the result of the fire, and not the cause.
Resident Stephanie said “We heard a huge boom and then fire trucks rushed to the scene just seconds later.”
This is how it looked in her field of view:
And this photo that Kevin took shows the “ferocity” of the flames at the peak of the blaze:

Fire near Hoboken Homeless Shelter wrecks cars
Here’s an eyewitness report from that car fire that took place in the wee hours today:
The charred scene on 3rd Street – A red sedan was totaled and carted away.
Did Milton start the fire?
“A big fire started last night/early this am at around 3:15am in front of the Hoboken homeless shelter, at 3rd Street between. Bloomfield and Garden Streets. We first heard a loud pop and then looked out the window and saw flames shoot 20 feet high, at least. The fire ignited the garbage bags sitting along the sidewalks that have been there for 2-3 days.
The fire then ignited a nearby red sedan (brand new) and the gas tank caught on fire. As for the fire, we saw a guy that looked similar to the “Office Space” pyro (the “where’s my stapler?” guy) not kidding, walking around aimlessly, so if anyone sees someone resembling him, milling the streets, looking suspicious, contact Police.”
See? Parking in a garage is always the best option! And if you see that guy – give HPD a call at (201)420-2100.
A girl had her melted car towed away this afternoon.
Always be alert!
