The fire started at about 10:50 p.m. Wednesday in the apartment at 802 Forest View Drive in Avenel, said fire official Cory Spillar. Pinkal Gandhi, his wife Pinal Gandhi, and some family members had filled a coconut with cotton, poured vegetable oil inside and lit it as a candle. It quickly caught on fire and spread to the hardwood floor.
Spillar stressed that this type of ritual is dangerous and should never be conducted indoors.
"Vegetable oil can ignite very rapidly and cotton is also very ignitable," Spillar said. "The fire really took off, especially on the hardwood floor, which has lacquer on it."
The family extinguished the blaze by the time firefighters arrived a few minutes later. But heavy smoke filled the apartment, causing the baby to cough and cry. The boy, Rayan Gandhi, was taken to JFK Medical Center in Edison and was released Thursday morning, Spillar said.
No other apartments in the 12-unit building were damaged. The hardwood floor in the family's master bedroom was damaged by the fire, and the apartment sustained minor smoke damage, Spillar said.
No charges have been filed, but the incident is still under investigation.
