8 people injured, including firefighters, after flames spread to multiple homes in Trenton

TRENTON, N.J. (WPVI) -- Two dozen people were displaced by a fire that spread to four homes on Monday in Trenton, New Jersey.

It broke out just before 10 a.m. on Monday in the unit block of Brown Street.

Firefighters fought back heavy flames on the top floor and roof of the home.

The fire started in one of the homes and spread to three others, including the residence of Harriet Tucker.

"This is what I call my home, but it's gone. It's gone," said Tucker, who has lived on the block for 25 years.

Video shared with Action News showed the intense flames as they spread from home to home.

"First engine pulled up there were people at the windows, so they rescued a few people coming out of the windows," recalled Battalion Chief Brian Butler.

Eight people were injured, including four firefighters. Most of the injuries appear to be minor, officials said.

A total of 24 people were displaced.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Investigators are looking to see if the flames started in the rear of the homes, possibly in a work truck.
