  1. 2018 Firegrounds

10-11-2018 - (Camden County) - CLEMENTON - 74 Spring Ave. - All Hands Dwelling

Shortly before 22:00, Brush 62 and Engine 62 responded to the area of 126 W. Atlantic Ave. for a reported brush fire. Upon arrival in the area, a 2 story single family dwelling with heavy fire showing throughout was discovered at 74 Spring Ave. 620 immediately struck the All Hands, and went to work with 1 3/4in. handlines. Squad 86 laid in from the hydrant, and dumped the entire bed of 1,000ft. of 5in. LDH. Engine 62 dumped their entire tank, as well as Squad 86's, before Engine 842 arrived to finished the hookup to supply Squad 86 and Engine 62. Crews had limited access to the dwelling due to severe overgrowth of brush on the property and massive amounts of runoff from the heavy rains that were pounding the area. After about 30 minutes, crews went defensive with the deck guns from Squad 86 and Engine 62, along with a portable master stream. Eventually the attack transitioned back into the interior. Due to poor access and torrential downpours, it took over 90 minutes to place the fire under control. Two firefighters were injured, however neither injury was life threatening.
