— What fashions are hot this season? The Mount Tabor Volunteer Fire Department can tell you.

The department

that earlier in the day it got a call for a "polo shirt on fire" on Route 10.

"Don't worry, we were equally as confused as you are," the department wrote.

The fire department found the shirt in question in front of 2949 Route 10, Parsippany, which is near the Parsippany Inn and Suites.

"What was left of this sorry-looking item of apparel was in the grass, slowly burning to ash," the department wrote. "The crew of Engine 615 extinguished the shirt and even though several attempts were made to revive the shirt to its original state, we were unable to do so, and no receipt was found, so a return is out of the question."

Engines 615 and 613, as well as Rescue 614 responded, the department wrote.

"What's actually funnier is that you needed two engines and a rescue to put out a smoldering shirt!" fire department Facebook follower Brian McGee wrote.

"Haha, Brian McGee, I think it was more to ensure that there wasn't a 'hot' sale going on and no one was missing out!" the department wrote back.

The department wrote the incident "was by far one of the more bizarre calls that the MTVFD has had to respond to."

"Well played, Parsippany, well played," it wrote.
