The blaze erupted around 7:30 a.m. at the 11-story building on 537 Avenue A, with smoke seen billowing from the third floor, according to the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office.

Officials said the cause of the fire was not immediately known, and there was no indication of foul play. The Hudson County Regional Arson Task Force and the Bayonne Fire Department are conducting an ongoing investigation.
