Nobody dead in big blaze

TRENTON, NJ — Luckily for residents who lived in the burnt out homes on Colonial Avenue, no one died last Sunday.

A big, devastating fire damaged five homes in the middle, right side of the block, and left homeowners and residents to find shelter in hotels and with families and friends.

Many lost their lives’ belongings and some said they do not want to return to the block even if their homes are repaired.

A resident said the fire started on the third floor of his mother’s home and that he believed it was due to electrical problems.

However, officials have not reported a sure cause.
