A 6-alarm fire spread to twenty homes and displaced as many as 60 people.

 

As many as 175 firefighters in and around Hamilton Township, Mercer County were called to put out the blaze.

 

Although the exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined by investigators, residents claim that there were men working on a roof of a house shortly before the fire.  One of the men was using a blowtorch.
