WOODLYNNE, NJ - At 7:54 A.M. on Saturday, April 5th, the Woodlynne, Oaklyn, and Camden Fire Departments were dispatched to 120 Powelton Avenue for the report of a dwelling fire.
Camden Engine 10 was first to arrive and reported smoke showing from the second-floor. E-10 stretched a one-and-three-quarter-inch hand line to the second-floor and initiated the fire attack. Camden BC Dan Baker arrived and transmitted the all hands fire signal for a working fire in a two-and-a-half, wood-frame, single-family dwelling. The all hands signal brought in Collingswood, Oaklyn, Audubon, and Gloucester City fire departments.
The fire spread through the second-floor and extended into the attic area. As the fire spread to the attic area, the roof partially collapsed and the crews were ordered out of the building and a defensive operation commenced. Crews utilized master streams and numerous hand lines to extinguish this stubborn fire. Camden Car 1, Fire Chief Jesse Flax, placed the fire under control at 10:23 A.M. Several units remained on location until the early afternoon overhauling and extinguishing hot spots.
