Federal authorities say a man from Passaic County has been convicted by a jury for his role as the gunman in two armed bank robberies in 2020 and he now potentially faces life in prison.
Eight firefighters are hospitalized and three are in serious condition after two fire trucks crashed into each other while responding to a building fire.
The fire at Majestic Industries and the Qualco chemical plant in Passaic was in buildings housing plastics, pallets and chlorine, officials said, but catastrophe was averted.
A massive fire at a chemical plant in the city's downtown shut Route 21 in both directions on Friday night and resulted in evacuations from neighboring residences.
