MIDDLESEX COUNTY, N.J. (PIX11) — One woman is dead, and several others severely injured in a Wednesday morning fire at a manufacturing plant located in Old Bridge Township, N.J., police say.
All traffic is being redirected away from West Greystone, and a shelter-in-place was issued for a nearby school, police said.
At 11:21 a.m., police responded to a call for a fire and possible explosion at a Superior Signal located at 178 West Greystone Road. Upon arrival, police said multiple people were found at the scene.
Police, EMS, and fire units from other towns also assisted in battling the blaze, according to a statement from the Old Bridge Chief of Police.
One person in a stretcher, two fire trucks, and more than a dozen firefighters were at the scene. Firefighters were also seen removing gear and washing it in a nearby blue portable shower, as shown in a video from AIR11.
Two medical helicopters were called in to transport victims to local hospitals. One female, a 73-year-old female, was pronounced deceased. Another victim, a 57-year-old woman, suffered severe burns to her face and hands, police said.
A male in his 20s suffered burns to his hands, another victim, a 65-year-old female, suffered minor burns, and a 62-year-old man was taken to a nearby hospital for smoke inhalation.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated. No foul play is suspected, police said.
