Posted on Dec 22, 2011

December 22, 2011 – East Orange, N.J. – According to a news story on USA Today, 30 residents of an apartment building were injured when their high-rise building caught on fire Sunday, December 18. The fire broke out on the ninth floor of the 17-story building and caused residents to panic and have problems exiting the premises.

Of the 30 people injured, including 9 firefighters, most suffered bruises, smoke inhalation and exhaustion. These conditions were treated at the scene; however, one resident was transferred to a local hospital for more serious complications from smoke inhalation.

The fire was brought under control in approximately 2 hours and the cause is still not known. No foul play is suspected.
