5-Alarm Fire Rips Through Pizzeria in Elizabeth; Damages Church

Elizabeth New Jersey

A late night 4-alarm fire that erupted at a pizzeria located in the 200 block of Second Street sent firefighters to the scene shortly before 11:30 p.m. where crews arrived to find heavy fire and embers coming from business.  

Mutual assistance from several municipalities assisted in battling the blaze that erupted at 228 Second Street and quickly  extended to a next door church.

It took crews about an hour to bring the stubborn blaze under control with a firefighter suffering minor injuries reported at around 12:15 a.m.

We will bring you additional information as it becomes available in our morning session beginning at 6 a.m.
