Mother Dead, Son Hurt After House Fire Breaks Out In Union County: Report

HILLSIDE, NJ — A 70-year-old woman is dead, and her son is hurt after a house fire early Friday morning, according to ABC New York.

At around 5:30 a.m., a heavy fire started at 1531 Center St. and melted the siding on the next door neighbor's house.

The woman was found dead on the second floor in a bedroom. Her 50-year-old son was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation and is in stable condition, according to ABC.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is still under review.

The Westfield Fire Department said they also responded in Linden to aid with a cover assignment.

"Many of the firefighters involved in battling this blaze had been working other fires in the area, so mutual aid was needed to assist in the efforts to keep things from getting worse," Hillside Deputy Chief Felipe Sousa told ABC.

On Friday morning, hazmat crews and fire officials from the area were still monitoring the large warehouse fire in Roselle Park that broke out on Thursday afternoon.

While the fire is now under control, the quality of the air regarding chemical exposure was an ongoing concern after the plastic fabricating company building went up in flames.
