Bogota firefighters saw the smoke as they arrived at the Atwater Luxury Apartments along the Hackensack River off West Fort Lee Road around 2 p.m.

They were joined at the two-alarm blaze by their firefighting colleagues from Ridgefield Park, Hackensack and Teaneck.

They contained the fire within minutes and continued dousing it after rolling the trash bin into the parking lot.
