NEW JERSEY - Officials say 10 people were injured, with two in critical condition, after a fire broke out at a senior citizen center in Edison, New Jersey on Tuesday evening.
Mayor Sam Joshi says that the 4-alarm fire happened at the Inman Grove Senior Center.
Officials say the fire began on a second-floor apartment where a window was open, and spread to the third floor.
By 8:30 p.m., the fire was completely out, according to officials.
The 10 injuries were mostly caused by smoke, fire officials say.
"At this time we’re coordinating overnight stay for those who need. I’ve authorized a stay for seniors at a local hotel and will make sure every resident is attended to. Red Cross is also assisting.
