Monmouth City fire trucks promptly arrived on the scene at 12:25 p.m. after a member of the college’s maintenance staff reported smoke coming from the house, stated Mohsin Masood, associate dean of students.
David Danaher, one of the residents and HR, said, “I felt really helpless standing outside what had become my home, watching it burn. Thanks to God, no one was in the house or injured.
