Cause Of East Brunswick House Fire Remains Under Investigation

An East Brunswick home sustained significant damage in an early morning house fire Wednesday.

No one was injured in the 1 a.m. blaze on Berkshire Way, according to Ron Sommer, the chief of East Brunswick Fire District #1.

When firefighters arrived at the home, they began an “aggressive interior attack,’’ said Sommer. But because of the amount of damage to the home, as well as truss construction, crews had to be pulled out of the house and fight the fire from the exterior, he said.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by township police and the district’s fire prevention bureau.

All three East Brunswick fire companies responded to the blaze.
