Woman killed, 3 others injured in Trenton house fire

A woman was killed and three others injured in a house fire in Trenton on Thursday morning, police said.

All four were pulled from the fire on the 400 block of Reservoir Street. The fire broke out around 10 a.m., Lt. Darren Zappely said.

In all, 11 people in five different buildings were displaced, according to the Red Cross of New Jersey.

Firefighters were called to the two-alarm fire and learned at least one person was trapped on the second floor, according to Battalion Chief Chief Todd Willever of the Trenton Fire Department.

Heavy fire ripped thorough the first floor of the home before firefighters brought it under control in about an hour, the battalion chief said. Several people were displaced.

Officials didn't immediately have information on the cause of the fire or where it began. Video from the scene shows significant damage to the roof and side of the home as well as several missing windows.

Arson detectives are at the house early this afternoon, though it has not been determined of the fire is suspicious, Zapley said. The age and identity of the woman killed was not immediately available.

The Red Cross arrived on scene to help residents forced out of their homes.
