"This was one of the fastest moving and most destructive residential fires we've seen in a very long time," said Newark Fire Department chief Al Pascarelli, who did not mention the partial box of chocolate sandwich cookies that perished in the intense heat and towering flames. "By the time we arrived, the building was already completely engulfed. It just went up so fast, there wasn't anything we could do except try to contain it.
Pascarelli confirmed the fire broke out around 12:20 a.m. at a Grove Street property occupied by Mike and Sheila Donlin, three young children, and as many as six perfectly good, untouched Oreo cookies, all of which were present at the time of the blaze.
"This is awful—just awful," said neighbor Karen Beliveau, 43, who appeared visibly shaken as she struggled with the horrifying reality that the Oreo cookies were truly gone and would never get to be munched on and enjoyed. "My heart just breaks for that poor family. I can't even imagine the pain and heartache their loved ones must be going through.""My God," added Beliveau, pausing to compose herself.
What will jerma eat now :(
Gone but not forgotten

Hydrox cookies woulda survived the fire.
'Could have been worse...could have been Double Stuffs.' says crushed area resident.
:(
hydrox (the original sandwich cookie, being relaunched in 2015) has gone too far this time
The horror! At least it wasn't whiskey; wait, no whiskey was harmed here right?

Meh. Hydrox are better anyway.
Not the Oreos!!! Oh yeah there’s also the house
The girlscouts Thin Mints were in the freezer, they thankfully survived the conflagration.
Feels like a jonlovett burn
Incorrect - Moses saw that the cookies were on fire, but that the cookies were NOT consumed.
Bullshit. There is no such thing as a half sleeve of oreos
Tragedy at its finest
This is why you finish them
well, this clearly proves voter fraud…
So, there's bad news, and bad news only then😖
