EDISON,
N.J. (CBSNewYork) — An extra-alarm fire broke out Thursday
night at a Department of Public Works garage in Edison, New Jersey.
Fire officials say a
municipal garage has collapsed after a multi-alarm fire in Edison. No one has
been injured.
The fire broke out around 10 p.m. Thursday at the Edison
Township DPW garage, at 745 New Durham Rd., the Edison Fire Department told
CBS2.
The fire was later raised to four alarms, and the structure
collapsed, fire officials said.
No one was inside the building, and no one was injured, fire
officials said.
No nearby homes were evacuated, but the fire department was
going from home to home to alert residents of the fire, officials said. There
is an alley between the garage and the neighborhood so the homes are not
believed to be in danger.
The Middlesex County Fire Coordinator was sent to the scene,
and surrounding towns were assisting in fighting the fire.
It was not known what was burning in the building, but it
contained fuel tanks, automobiles and tires, officials said.
