JERSEY CITY, N.J. — A five-alarm fire tore through a wood-framed, two-story building in the Bergen-Lafayette section of Jersey City today, injuring nine firefighters and displacing several tenants.
Jersey City firefighters were called to the building at Monticello and Fairmount avenues at 5 p.m., Fire Director Armando Roman said.
When they got there, they saw flames shooting through the eaves as smoke billowed from the building, he said. At several points, an ornamental dome on the roof of the building became engulfed in flames.
