VIDEO/PHOTO: One person was found dead inside a home in Middlesex County after firefighters battled a raging fire at the residence Monday night.
The fast-moving fire was one of two that kept firefighters and investigators busy throughout the afternoon, evening and into early Tuesday morning.
The first fire struck a group home on Riva Avenue in Monmouth Junction. All residents made it safely out of the home and no serious injuries were reported, authorities said.
The second fire was reported shortly after 9 p.m. in a single-family home on Pelham Road in Kendall Park. Photos from the scene show flames shooting through the roof of the structure.
When the fire was out, firefighters discovered a body inside, authorities said. Investigators remained at the scene Tuesday morning, working to determine a cause for the fire.
