An 11 alarm chemical fire erupted near the Qualco Inc chemical plant in Passaic, New Jersey on Friday night after sparking at a vacant manufacturing warehouse. The fire began at around 9pm at Majestic Injuries on 225 Passaic Street before spreading to multiple nearby buildings. Although never reaching the plant, around 100,000 pounds of chlorine pellets were reportedly affected as it produces chemicals for pools and spas.

Only one firefighter has been injured as a result with no fatalities reported as of yet
