PERTH AMBOY — Officials are continuing to investigate the fire Sunday night that displaced nearly 100 residents of the Harbortown Terrace development in Perth Amboy, authorities said.
Management officials, meanwhile, were trying to relocate the residents after the blaze damaged or destroyed 31 of 32 units of one building, the city fire department said Monday. Victims were being taken in by relatives and were referred to the American Red Cross, who was distributing vouchers at the Alexander Jankowski Community Center on Olive Street.
No serious injuries were reported.
