BROOKLAWN, NJ - At 7:02 am as this correspondent was just pulling in to the local WaWa (less then a quarter mile away) the Task Force 33 (Bellmawr Park) tones were dropped for a reported dwelling fire across from the Red Carpet Inn on Route 130. Police arrived to confirm heavy fire from the front of the dwelling on the corner of Route 130 South and Haakon Road. Heavy fire was visible from the first floor and was quickly spreading to the second floor.

Bellmawr's Squirt 32 was first due followed by Mount Ephraim's Rescue 45 and then Bellmawr Park's Ladder 33. All units quickly went to work. Command 3440, Camden County Fire Marshall Robert Medlar quickly utilized all hands as the fire was quickly spreading. Command struck the second alarm as the fire was through the roof and was spreading to the delta exposure. Interior crews were quickly backed out and went in to defensive operations as all residents were accounted for. The charlie division wall caved in causing the delta wall to collapse towards the charlie/delta corner of the dwelling.

Bellmawr's Ladder 33 was operating on the alpha/bravo corner of the dwelling as Westville's Ladder 73 was operating on the charlie division.

Units from Bellmawr, Mount Ephraim, Gloucester City, Runnemede, Barrington, Audubon, Chews Landing, Gloucester County - Westville and Deptford, were operating on scene as the blaze was placed under control just above the one hour mark at 8:04 am. Crews cleared the scene around 11 am.
