A man died and a woman was injured when a home burst into flames on Stegman Street in Jersey City, New Jersey. A relative of the victims told CBS New York her step brother was trapped on the second floor and firefighters pulled him out, while her niece jumped from the second floor and was injured. "The male was removed from the second floor by the firefighters. In a lifeless condition, he was transported to the hospital and he did not make it," said Jersey City Fire Chief Stephan Drennan.
"The gentleman that lives there, it's hard for me to talk about. But we've been neighbors 27 years. They brought him out, they were trying to resuscitate him and stuff. I don't know what happened with him," said Jean Gaskins. The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office, fire marshal's office and arson investigators were on the scene.
