<description><![CDATA[
At 1118 hrs, the Bergen Regional Special Operations Team (BRSO) and their support units were requested to respond to 15 Piermont Rd. in Tenafly for a commercial building collapse.&nbsp; Tenafly Fire was on scene at a grocery store whose roof had collapsed under the heavy weight of snow with workers and&nbsp;customers inside at the time of the incident.&nbsp; It was believed that everyone inside had evacuated safely, but the entire structure needed to be checked.
&nbsp;
Squad 732 with the trailer and 3 members of the team, the Rescue and Deputy Chiefs Byrnes, Sr. and Lodato responded to the call.&nbsp; DC Byrnes was assigned to the command post and DC Lodato was assigned rear sector officer.&nbsp; Members from the Rescue set up lighting in a rear entrance to the building while members of the team, led by Lt. Kirsch made entry.&nbsp; Crews used cameras to search for any possible victims.
&nbsp;
BRSO command made the decision that the NJ Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Team as well as special search dogs were needed at the scene.&nbsp; The building was very unstable and concern of a complete collapse was a major reason to request the State team be activated. After an extensive search of the building is was determined that everyone had safely made it out of the building.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Tenafly Chief Philpott was in command of the incident and the BRSO command was led by Lt. Kirsch of the Bergenfield FD and Chief Moran of the Englewood FD.&nbsp;
