On Friday, July 5th, at approximately 3:28 pm, Gloucester Township Police Officers observed a heavy smoke condition in the area of 1900 Erial Road in Blackwood. Officers located flames in the rear lot of the commercial business which were contained to several large box trailers and a truck.
Gloucester Township Fire Departments from Erial, Blackwood, and Lambs Terrace along with Cherry Hill, Pennsauken, and Voorhees Fire Departments arrived and gained control of the fire. Camden County HazMat, Camden County Office of Emergency Management, Gloucester Twp Office of Emergency Management, and Inspira BLS also assisted.
There were no injuries to any employees of the business, however three Fire Fighters were transported to local hospitals to be treated for non life-threatening injuries. A portion of Erial Road was closed for several hours during the incident and has since been opened.
At this time the fire does not appear to be suspicious and will remain under investigation by the Camden County Fire Marshal's Office and the Fire Marshal from the Erial Fire Department.
This is a reminder to check your fire suppression systems to include alerts and audible alarm systems to ensure they are operational. Smoke alarms are a key part of any fire escape plan. When there is smoke, there is fire which can spread quickly. Working smoke alarms give you early warning, so you can get outside quickly.
