A fire tore through a row of homes in Trenton late Friday into early Saturday, killing an 18-year-old man, injuring several others and forcing 22 residents from their homes, city officials said.
The blaze broke out on the 1200 block of North Olden Avenue, damaging seven homes, according to a statement from Trenton City Hall.
The 18-year-old who died was a high school student preparing to participate in the city’s homecoming parade Saturday, according to Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora. He did not identify the student.
Of the three residents injured in the fire, one is in critical condition and two remain in stable condition, Gusciora said. A firefighter was also sent to the hospital.
