Firefighter Rich Nocholas told The New York Times he saw "a big fire ball - it was sailing through the roof "of the Kirker Chemical Company in Paterson on Oct. 8, 1985. The three-alarm blaze forced the evacuations of 200 residents. Three workers escaped from the burning plant that produced nail polish and auto paint. Paterson firefighters used foam and water to contain the flames, the Times said.
