Union Township Fire Displaces More Than A Dozen

UNION TOWNSHIP, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- More than a dozen Union Township residents are displaced after a fire ripped through a condominium complex Saturday night.

There were no injuries reported.

Many of the residents are staying with families and friends. But Joshua Dickson from a nearby Holiday Inn said the hotel is providing rooms and meals for three families with nowhere else to go.

"I feel sorry for the people that are out there," Dickson said. "They don't have nothing left. At least the Holiday Inn will be able to provide meals and a roof over their head until they get stable again."

The investigation into what caused the fire is ongoing.
