A fire prompted early morning evacuations at the Hilton in Hasbrouck Heights.
The power is out in the hotel and not expected to go on anytime soon.
Many guests were stranded outside, and many waited inside to be booked to another hotel.
The problem is all due to an electrical fire that happened in the back of the hotel.
“There was an explosion in the electrical room,” says Robert Knobloch with the fire department. “From that explosion, there was a fire in the electrical room.
The hotel was evacuated and everyone was evacuated out safely.”
There were no injuries reported.
