Hoboken’s stunning skyline views were obscured by smoke late last night, as a fire broke out on Observer Highway near Madison Street. That block sits adjacent to the Hoboken Fire Department’s Station 2, who responded immediately.

The fire was extinguished, and no injuries were reported. Nevertheless, a number of residents have been displaced from their homes.

Hoboken Police, OEM, Volunteer Ambulance Corps all responded, and were assisted by the Jersey City Fire Department.

EDIT: We initially attributed the lead photograph to the Mayor’s twitter feed. However, we have since been informed that the amazing photo was in fact taken by David Pirmann.
