Fire Breaks Out at Fort Monmouth Building

Thick black smoke filled the skies over Oceanport Monday afternoon as a fire broke out at an apartment building under construction.

According to Patch.com, the blaze began around 3 p.m. at the intersection of Oceanport Avenue and Hazen Drive, near Parkers Creek. Witnesses say flames first appeared at the back of the building before quickly spreading to the roof.

Oceanport firefighters are actively working to contain the flames, with a heavy police and fire presence on the scene.

So far, no injuries have been reported, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

I’ve had my dream job of waking up with all the great listeners and members of Brookdale Public Radio since January 3, 2005. Prior to this job, I began my career in radio at NJ 101.5 FM as a producer. From there, I took time off from radio to do other things. (including becoming a mom!)
