Watch: Drone Footage Shows Fire Aftermath

Residents displaced by the massive warehouse fire last week were allowed to return home Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, North Brunswick police have posted a video of the fire scene, along with drone footage of its aftermath, because they said, they wanted to help people understand the magnitude of the blaze.

The fire broke out early Wednesday and consumed the old Okonite warehouse at 1600 Livingston Avenue, near Route 1, in North Brunswick.

Around 1 p.m. Sunday, Mayor Francis “Mac” Womack posted a notice on his Facebook page that said environmental officials had cleared the displaced residents to return to their homes in the Hearthwood condominium complex. About 200 residents had been evacuated.

The fire was finally declared out and the firefighters had finished their “round-the-clock efforts to expose and extinguish hot spots located under the collapsed roof sections of the building,’’ Sunday’s announcement said.

The investigation by federal, state, county and local authorities into the cause of the blaze was expected to resume Monday morning.

Federal, state and county environmental experts also planned to continue to monitor water and air quality in the area.
