Kenilworth, NJ Fire Dept. and Rescue Squad

5 days ago

On this date April 20, 2009 UC Fire Mutual Aid response into Roselle Park. Extended Exterior Operations • Fire Guts Landmark Domani’s Restaurant. A historical Roselle Park, NJ restaurant known for a resident ghost burned to the ground last night, leaving five fire departments no choice but to contain the massive blaze to one building.

"It's gone, the building's gone, there's nothing we can do," Fire Chief Joseph Signorello remembered thinking as he arrived at the fire at West Westfield Avenue shortly after midnight. Firefighters from Roselle Park, Roselle, Elizabeth, Kenilworth and Cranford tried to stop the spread of flames spurting out of what was once Domani's restaurant, Signorello said.
Signorello said his only two priorities were to contain the fire and make sure no one got hurt.

Domani's, at 240 West Westfield Ave., had been closed for a year, according to the fire department. Signorello said the owner, Mary McCoy, had been attempting to sell the restaurant.

"Mary was very, very upset," Signorello said. "She was negotiating a day for the closing."

The original building on the site dates to the 1880's, according to Signorello. The restaurant was once featured on the SciFi channel show "Ghosthunters" for an alleged longtime ghost.

Over the years, several additions to the original structure were built, which helped the fire rage out of control. Signorello said the many rooms, the old structure, fake walls and two layers of roofs made the fire spread faster than it otherwise would.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the Union County Arson Squad.
