TRENTON -- A fire at the Carteret Arms apartment building on West State Street Thursday afternoon grew to a two alarms before city firefighters got it under control.
Fire officials said it could have been intentionally set.
Firefighters were dispatched to the building at 1:30 p.m. and brought the fire under control around 2 p.m., Deputy Chief Robert Tharp said.

Though the cause of the fire is still unknown, Tharp said it is possible the fire was intentionally set.
