On Thursday, October 11th at just past 3:15 in the afternoon, Cherry Hill Firefighters and EMTs responded to a reported house fire in the 1200 block of Sequoia Road. Battalion Chief 1303 was the first to arrive and reported a smoke condition in the rear of the dwelling and directed the incoming companies to go into service. Companies pulled hose lines to attack the fire which had gotten a hold of two rooms in the rear of the first floor and was quickly spreading throughout that level and up the stairs.
A thorough search for any trapped occupants proved nobody was at home during the fire. Windows were opened up to ventilate the heavy smoke condition and ladders were placed around the dwelling for use by firefighters. This fire was placed under control in about 15 minutes from the time of arrival. No injuries were reported to civilians or firefighters. A family of six has been displaced from this home indefinitely, and this fire is under investigation by the Cherry Hill Fire Marshal’s Office.
