Millville, NJ (April 4, 2022) – Injuries stemmed from an apartment fire that broke out in Millville on Monday, April 4.
According to officials, the fire broke out past midnight in an apartment building on North High Street. Fire crews were dispatched to the scene, where they found that smoke and flames were pouring out of the building on the third floor of the complex. The fire started to spread incredibly quickly and a second alarm was sounded. When fire crews gained access to the inside of the building, they started to fight the heavy flames and get people out through the window.
Paramedics and numerous other responders were immediately called to the scene. All of the individuals inside the apartment were brought outside to safety. However, a total of five people were hospitalized with minor burns and smoke inhalation-related injuries. A total of seven tenants have also been displaced from their home.
The area was blocked for an extended period of time until fire crews were able to bring the fire under control.
The investigation into the circumstances of the fire remains ongoing.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
Fire Accidents in New Jersey
Fires do not happen as commonly as other injury accidents in the U.S. However, when they do occur in either commercial or residential areas, they are capable of causing extensive harm. Many victims of fires will sustain smoke inhalation or burn injuries, which can lead to lifelong pain and harm. In 2020, it was reported that approximately 15,200 people were injured in fires throughout the entire U.S. New Jersey is no stranger to these incidents. If you have been hurt in a fire and believe that somebody else has acted negligently in your accident, you should have the assistance of an attorney on your side.
Facing a fire on your own can be a difficult thing to do, especially if you have never faced injuries in one of these incidents in the past. You may have a variety of questions that you cannot answer on your own. For instance, what evidence do you need to prove that another party is at fault for your fire? What deadlines will you be required to meet when it comes to moving forward with a successful claim? Will your case be settled or will it make it all the way to trial? These are questions that you can answer when you speak with a Millville personal injury attorney.
