An office building on Old Matawan Road in Old Bridge was ravaged by a fire around 3 p.m. April 25, creating plumes of smoke seen for miles and clogging traffic on nearby Route 18. Reports indicate the fire may have been started by a discarded cigarette butt in a smoking area adjacent to the building. All occupants of the building were safely evacuated.
