CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: We want to take you now live to Elizabeth, New Jersey where there are dozens of firefighters fighting this multi-alarm blaze that's taking place. It's two multistory row homes that began burning around 4:30 a.m. Eastern Time today and portions of the buildings actually collapsed a little while ago. Authorities say it appears, however, that all of the residents that live in those row homes were able to safely escape the flames. No word yet on what caused that fire.
Again, we're continuing to get information on this story. We'll bring it back to you. A multi-alarm blaze going on in some row homes there in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
