New Jersey fire leaving ash in the East Village

Apparently New Jersey is on fire... as this photo via ANIMAL New York shows... (photo taken on the West Side...)

Anyway, multiple readers have noted ash falling from the blaze near East Rutherford falling around here...

From the wire:

WAYNE, N.J. (AP) — A kitschy northern New Jersey landmark that spawned a popular rock band's name and served as the backdrop for a "Sopranos" episode may be in danger of closing. Fountains of Wayne has sat on the side of Route 46 for more than 40 years, beckoning shoppers with displays of lawn ornaments, outdoor furniture and life-sized Santa Claus figures in various attire. The store's gates were closed on Friday, and no one answered the phone.
