ELIZABETH, New Jersey (WABC) -- A fire displaced four families after flames tore through several homes in New Jersey.
The fire on Jacques Street in Elizabeth was first reported around 6 p.m. and quickly grew to five alarms.

Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire.
The Red Cross is helping displaced families find a place to stay.
