Police say the fire broke out just before 2:30 a.m. Saturday at a home on Thomas Drive.
Officials say first responders arriving at the scene found a 61-year-old woman had already been rescued by Independence Township Police Officer Rafael Ortiz. They told Hackettstown Police Officer Ryan Blankenship that a 91-year-old woman was still inside the house.
