JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Fire officials say operations at Ellis Island have been widely disrupted by a transformer fire.
Armando Roman, director of Jersey City’s Fire and Emergency Services Department, said firefighters were dispatched about 12:50 p.m. Saturday after reports of an elevator emergency.
Roman said the incident was reported as a working fire because some people saw heavy smoke, but further investigation determined that a transformer had failed in the museum’s mechanical room.
