HOBOKEN - Hoboken fire officials continued on Monday to battle the fire that broke out at approximately 7 p.m. Sunday night on the corner of Washington Street and Third Street, across Third Street from McDonald's. Even though the fire was brought under control by 11 p.m. Sunday, it broke out again Monday morning, and emergency crews were on the scene into Monday afternoon.

A city spokesperson indicated that there were no major injuries, but one individual was sent to the hospital for smoke inhalation, and two others were treated at the scene and released. Three firefighters also were sent to the hospital for a knee injury, a broken hand, and smoke inhalation.

The building was deemed uninhabitable by construction code officials. A shelter was set up at the Multi Service Center (Second Street and Grand Street) for any residents who were displaced. - Steven LaMarca
