This comes to us via an anonymous tip, and seems to be confirmed on Twitter.

Not sure yet of any details, except it looks like people have left the building.

Picture of ladder on the roof.

Hoping everyone is OK. Updates as we get them.

Well that was fast — Ginger Gibson reports via Twitter that they are back in the building but the press is closed.

    NJ has the story up:

    Several fire companies responded, quickly doused the fire and cleared smoke from the building at 950 W. Basin Road (Del. 141), near I-95.

    One person was taken to the hospital to be examined, but he did not seem to be in serious condition.

    Employees were allowed back inside at 5:33 p.m.

    The staff is resuming work on the Tuesday edition of the newspaper.

    The most-covered minor fire in the history of the NJ, it was believed by many to be just a false alarm from another idiot burning popcorn.
