Two in critical condition after fire breaks out at senior center

EDISON, N.J. (PIX11) -- Over 200 senior citizens are out of their homes Tuesday after a four-alarm fire broke out at the Inman Grove Senior Center.

The fire started around 6 p.m. in a resident's room on the second floor in the C wing of the building, according to officials. Around 100 firefighters responded.

Two people remain in critical condition. Edison Mayor Sam Joshi initially reported it as a fatal fire, but gave an update late Tuesday night, saying one of the injured regained a pulse in what he called a "miracle."

Joshi said the seniors are staying at a local hotel and that they will be attended to. The American Red Cross is also providing assistance.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
