NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—A woman was hospitalized after suffering second-degree burns in her condominium on the sixth floor of the city’s second-tallest skyscraper after a steam pipe ruptured causing flooding.
Firefighters from the New Brunswick Fire Department (NBFD) were summoned to the “One Spring Street” tower at 1:54am on October 17, after the explosion set off the building’s fire alarms.
Shortly thereafter, an ambulance was dispatched to treat two patients with “thermal burns.”
