Commercial Building Fire 
Firefighters continue to work on a multi-alarm commercial building fire at 2 Progress Road. The fire has been going on for over 12 hours and over 200 firefighters from numerous fire departments have battled the blaze. The fire was originally seen on the roof of the commercial building but has spread into the warehouse. Firefighters have had to use heavy equipment to pull the contents of the warehouse apart in order to get to the deep-seated fire.
There were 15 employees in the building at the time the fire was reported, and all made it safely out. Numerous EMS units from around the area have also been on the scene.
In addition to fire and EMS units the Middlesex County Office of Emergency Management and South Brunswick Office of Emergency Management continue to work at the scene.
There is no impact on the community from the fire. The warehouse is located at the end of a dead-end street and all fire operations are off the roadway.
