All were evaluated by EMS workers at the Washington Avenue home and refused further treatment, responders told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

The residents were spending the night at a brother-in-law’s home in the township until the cleanup from the delivery spill was complete, they said.

Responders just after 11:30 p.m. included the Bergen County Hazardous Materials Unit and EMS squads from the township, Westwood and Hillsdale.
