PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) - Investigators say some burning candles apparently sparked a deadly fire at an apartment complex in Princeton last month.
The Dec. 27 fire at the Griggs Farm community started in a bedroom in one of the units. The fast-moving fire roared through a three-story building, killing an elderly woman and leaving 35 residents displaced.
Investigators say no foul play or electrical issues were involved in the blaze.

Princeton Community Housing, the company that owns and operates the low-income housing units, has been assisting the displaced residents.
