BEACHWOOD, N.J. — May 5th — Responding to a residential structure fire in the 100 block of Station Avenue were firefighters from the Beachwood Vol. Fire Department.

Before personnel arrived, three passing people forced inside and assisted in the evacuation of inhabitants. There were no reported injuries.
