Members of the Linden Fire Department, assisted by Union County Hazmat and the Elizabeth Fire Department, performed confined space rescue efforts and were able to reach the man, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Most likely the worker was inspecting or cleaning or repairing the tanker trailer tank (an intermodal container) and was overcome by hazardous fumes.  This is an unfortunate and typical situation when the employer fails to provide the appropriate safety harness for the worker and/or fails to train the worker.  The lack of oxygen and/or the deadly gases will kill the worker.  Most of these transportation companies are known "cheap-skaters".  Cutting safety corners to the detriment of the workers.

A police monitoring service indicated the tanker trailer was inside a warehouse.

The circumstances surrounding this incident are under investigation by the Linden Police Detective Bureau and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

In nearby Woodbridge a police monitoring service reported around 4:12 p.m that a worker was trapped in a construction trench and the Middlesex County Urban Search and Rescue Team was called to the scene.

John Hagerty, township spokesman, said he understands a private contractor was working in the Colonia section. The site was not a township construction site. The trench collapsed for some unknown reason, trapping a worker. Extrication work was underway.

Members of the Colonia Fire Department and Township EMS on site, Hagerty said.

OLD CITY (WPVI) --

Philadelphia police are investigating a fatal construction accident in Old City.

It happened just before 2 p.m. in the unit block of N. Third Street.

The man's identity has not yet been released.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A man has died after he fell four stories at a construction site on Thursday.

It happened around 2 p.m. on North 3rd Street in Philadelphia.

Police say a 28-year-old man was transported to an area hospital after the accident. He was later pronounced dead.

Circumstances surrounding the fall are still being investigated.

The very, very old Billy and Madeline’s Red Room Tavern in the Whippany section of Hanover, NJ was destroyed by fire

WHIPPANY, NJ -

The owners of Billy and Madeline’s Red Room Tavern in the Whippany section of Hanover were taken to a hospital Monday after they were rescued from their business when the building went up in flames, officials said.

A fire gutted the 84-year-old business Monday afternoon.

Good Samaritans are being credited with saving Billy Fornaro and Madeline Fornaro, as well as their dog. The couple's home was located above the tavern and was also destroyed in the fire. The Fornaros have owned the business since 1980, but the tavern itself dates back to 1933.

"It's an old building. It's a tough building. We made an attack inside for about a half an hour. (We) finally got to the point where we said we have to pull out, keep our guys safe, and worked it from the outside,” Whippany Fire Department Chief Joseph Cortright said.

The business owners were taken to the hospital. Their conditions were not immediately known.

The Morris County Prosecutor's Office is now investigating the cause of the fire.

With so many electrical and non-electrical sources of ignition and sparking and so much combustible material at such an old building, it is no surprise that it went up in flames and was destroyed by the fire.  So many restaurant fires are caused by failure to clean and/or properly maintain the exhaust vents.  These grease fires are smoldering and eventually ignite massive fires in the early a.m. hours, like in this instance.

The four people injured in a blaze that destroyed Billy & Madeline's Red Room Tavern in Hanover Monday have been treated and released from the hospital as investigators continue to seek the cause of the fire, the prosecutor's office said Tuesday.

Police at the scene said two of those injured were the business owners, Billy and Madeline Fornaro, who live upstairs.

Morris County Prosecutor's Office spokesman Paul Merkler said all four people hurt in the fire were treated and released from Morristown Medical Center Monday.

Authorities received a call reporting the fire at 12:47 p.m., prompting the response of 17 fire departments along with numerous police departments and emergency medical services.

The fire burned through the tavern for several hours, with flames and smoke billowing out of the upper floor windows and attic before the roof collapsed.

Merkler said the tavern was rendered uninhabitable by the damage.

The bar and restaurant in the Whippany section of Hanover has been a local stop for decades, according the tavern's website: "It opened in 1933 by Billy's parents as Fornaros Tavern. It became Billys Red Room when Billy officially took over in 1959. The legendary Billy & Madelines Red Room Tavern was created in 1980 when Billy married the love of his life, Madeline."

The Garfield, New Jersey house fire Wednesday night was caused by an electrical issue in the attic
