ENGLEWOOD, NEW JERSEY
A 57-year-old city man suffered a fatal heart attack after
being pulled from a burning home Monday afternoon, said police spokesperson
Det. Capt. Timothy Torell.
Calls started to come in around 1:40 p.m. reporting a fire
at 370 Shepard Ave. When firefighters and police arrived, one resident was
found outside but Charles Brown was still trapped in the structure, Torell
said. Brown was in cardiac arrest at the scene and was later pronounced dead at
Englewood Hospital.
The other resident was treated for an injured hand. An
Englewood firefighter was treated for burns to his wrist, Torell said.
The fire, which went to three alarms before it was
contained, drew responders from several communities, including Tenafly and
Hackensack. The fire was still under investigation late Monday.
