Four families were displaced Saturday after a fire damaged two homes in East Orange.

No one was injured. Fire officials said everyone was out of the home when they arrived.

The call came in around 4:30 p.m. from Glenwood Avenue.

Officials said the three-alarm fire took about two hours to knock down.

“We came across some water concerns, but we adapted, improvised and overcame those,” said East Orange Fire Chief Bruce Davis. “We were able to keep everybody safe and sound.”

The Red Cross is assisting the affected families. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.
