A five-alarm fire spread from 272 St. Paul’s Avenue, Jersey City yesterday (May 11, 2008), “burned four homes, destroying two of them and forcing the relocation of 26 people….” according to the news.

It was an unfortunate accident during Mother’s Day, and it took several hours to bring the fire under control.

…At the house where the fire began, two women tenants were assisted out of a first-floor rear window by firefighters. A third family who lived there was at church when the fire broke out….

Meanwhile, a fireman was able to save a hamster, a pet owned by a kid named Miguel Cordova, who said he was still grateful despite of what happened.
