Now, back to the news. An early morning fire damaged the historic Geller House today. It destroyed the third floor of the building, but fire fighters saved the first and second floors. There were only a few elderly people living in the building at the time, and they were carried out to safety.
The Geller House was built in 1718, and was used as a hotel for over 150 years. George Washington stayed here in 1782. The Geller family owned the building until the 1930’s. Then they sold it to the Mills family. Five years ago, it was made into a building for the elderly.
Several fire departments were called to the scene. When we asked Fire Chief Andrew Barnes how the fire started, he answered that most likely a burning cigarette caused it. Chief Barnes promised to further examine the cause.

At what time of day did the fire start
At dawn one morning in early May, Sean Cosgrove is stashing piles of maps, notes and photocopied documents in his gym bag before heading for West Milford High, a rural school in northernmost New Jersey. On his 30-minute commute, the young former investment banker tries to dream up new ways of lifting the monumentally forgettable Mexican War off the textbook page and into his students’ imaginations. Can he invoke the storied memories of Robert E. Lee, who cut his first military exploits on the plains of Veracuz—or will he be met with thundering responses of "Who’s Lee" Should he raise James K. Polk out of the mystic chords of memory, and hope, for a nanosecond, that the kids will care about the first U. S. president who stepped aside because he’d accomplished everything he wanted Let’s think some more. Well, there’s always the Alamo. And hey, isn’t that the teachers’ parking lot up ahead
