Massive fire burning at mattress warehouse in North Brunswick
NORTH BRUNSWICK – Firefighters are battling a massive blaze Wednesday evening at a mattress warehouse on the 600 Block of Nassau Street.
Residents reported on social media hearing explosions in addition to seeing thick smoke from the fire which appears to have started before 4 p.m.
Fire personnel from other counties have been called to the scene.
The Facebook page for the Tri State Fire Incident Network indicates part of the warehouse roof has collapsed.
A message sent to North Brunswick police has not yet been returned.
"Last night, volunteers from North Brunswick's Fire Companies and Rescue Squad spent another cold winter night fighting one of the region's largest warehouse fires in recent memory," North Brunswick Mayor Francis Womack said in a statement Thursday morning. "Through their professionalism and training, there were no deaths or injuries and the fire was not allowed to spread."
Police and fire personnel are urging drivers and pedestrians to avoid the area of Georges Road and Nassau Street due to the fire.
