Comstock Fire Damages House But Does Not Cause Injuries

A fire at 6 Comstock St. on Tuesday night burned a hole in the roof of a multi-family home and resulted in some major smoke damage, but no injuries.

Cpt. Rob Schaffer said the two-alarm fire, which occured just before 7 p.m. on Tuesday, appeared to have started in the third floor attic, as heavy smoke was coming from that part of the house when the fire department arrived.

Fire companies from North Brunswick, East Franklin, Edison and East Brunswick aided on the scene, Schaffer said.

Dean Wournell was the Deputy Chief on scene, he said.

The fire was knocked down within 10 minutes, Schaffer said. There were no injuries reported to the residents of the home or firefighters, he said.

The house has heavy smoke damage throughout, minor water damage, and significant damage to the attic, where the fire burned a hole through the roof.
