"A" Group Battles Post-Storm Fire

On Monday, August 29, while still running dozens of Hurricane Irene related calls, "A" Group was dispatched to a reported fire in the Columbia Lakes section of town.  Just before 3pm, Engine 1322, Squrt 1351, Ladder 1324, Battalion 13, and EMS 1392 responded to the report of a possible house fire to the rear of a home on Columbia Blvd.



Engine 1322 arrived on scene at 411 Kennebec Road and found an enclosed tow trailer parked in the driveway, well involved in fire.  The flames from the completely filled trailer were spreading to the home's garage and roof.  The crew from Engine 22 deployed one 1 3/4" handline and quickly knocked down the fire.






The trailer was destroyed by the fire and there was some minor damage to the exterior of the home.  The fire is under investigation by the Cherry Hill Police Department and Camden County Fire Marshal's office.
