An intense, fast-moving fire that destroyed four homes in Perth Amboy, NJ, yesterday seriously injured a baby and her parents.
Some 47 people were left homeless by blaze, which started at around 4 a.m.
The couple and their infant were hospitalized in serious but stable condition.
About 75 firefighters battled the stubborn blaze for several hours before it was brought under control.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Witnesses said it appeared to be “raining ashes” in the area as crews worked to extinguish the massive flames.
