The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said airport operations were running as usual.
The blaze at Newark Liberty International came just hours after a fire tore through a paper plant in Bergen County, New Jersey, just minutes away from the airport. The massive inferno burned for hours Wednesday night into Thursday as firefighters battled freezing temperatures.
