At approximately 1518 on June 2, 2026, the Camden County Fire Alarm Room struck a box for the Camden Fire Department for the report of a warehouse on fire in the area of 2nd and Erie Street. Responding companies could see the smoke column from many blocks out. Camden Engine Co 1 was first to arrive and reported a two story warehouse with fire through the roof. This vacant warehouse is located off of the roadway in a heavily overgrown, hard to reach area. Ladder Co 2 and Engine Co 1 were able to position to fight the fire. Ladder Co 3 was able to position on an adjacent property with access to the opposite side of the building. The fire involved mostly the roof area since there were very little contents in the building. Ladder Co 2 utilized its aerial and Engine Co 1 had serval lines stretched. The fire was placed under control in about 30 minutes.
