Fire At Sarah Court Home In South Brunswick

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — A fire broke out at 1:58 a.m. Sunday morning at home on Sarah Court in the Deans section of South Brunswick, police said.

The fire started in the attached garage of the home. When South Brunswick police got there, followed by the Monmouth Junction Fire Department, all the residents were safely outside the home. Police say the aggressive attack by local volunteer firefighters meant the home was able to be saved.
