The fire was prevented from reaching the main chemical plant, which could have endangered the densely populated New York City suburbs of New Jersey
......
Nearby residents were advised to close their windows but were not required to evacuate, with officials saying air quality remained acceptable and would be monitored.
Some residents fled nonetheless.

The 300-foot (91-meter) by 400-foot (122-meter) building was vacant but being used to store plastics, pallets and some chlorine, Trentacost said. Some fire remained in the basement under the roof but “it was a total collapse of a three-story building.”
