ELIZABETH, N.J. (AP) - A fast-moving fire roared through a northern New Jersey trucking center, severely damaging the building and injuring a firefighter.
The fire broke out around 11 p.m. Sunday in a rear area of the Elizabeth Truck Center and spewed heavy smoke and flames through the roof, which soon collapsed. Nearby residents also reported hearing numerous explosions.
Dozens of firefighters then battled the blaze, which also damaged or destroyed numerous vehicles before it was brought under control early Monday.
No one apparently was in the building when the fire broke out, authorities said. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
One firefighter was treated for undisclosed injuries that were considered minor, authorities said.
