The blaze is an electrical fire, police said.

SOMERSET -- At least five different fire departments have responded to a blaze at Huntingdon Life Sciences Building located at 100 Mettlers Road in Franklin Township, township police spokesman Phil Rizzo said.

Two firefighters have been taken to local hospitals for smoke inhalation, Rizzo said. A worker at Huntingdon fell as she was crossing the street to evaluate the building but was treated at the scene, Rizzo said.

The first calls on the blaze, which was later determined to be an electrical fire, came in at about noon, Rizzo said.

Emergency personnel from Somerset and Middlesex counties and Robert Wood Johnson University hospitals also responded to the scene, Rizzo said.

Mettlers Road between Weston Road and Amwell Road was closed as of 1:59 p.m., the township announced.
