Gloucester Township Police Media Release- Dwelling Fire in the Clementona Neighborhood Displaces Residents 6-3-2026
On Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at approximately 4:57 PM, the Gloucester Township Police Department responded to the unit block of Belleview Avenue, located in the Clementona neighborhood of Gloucester Township for a dwelling fire with possible entrapment. Officers arrived on location to find smoke and fire coming from the side of the residence and confirmed that the resident was safely evacuated.
Fire suppression efforts were led by Squad 88, a cooperative 24/7 career staffing initiative between Gloucester Township Fire Districts 2 and 4, Pine Hill Fire Department, Chews Landing Fire Department (Station 82), Blackwood Fire Department (Station 84), Erial Fire Department (Station 86), Lambs Terrace Fire Department (Station 85) and Winslow Township Fire Department. Assistance was also provided by Inspira Basic Life Support and the American Red Cross.
There were no injuries as a result of this incident and the resident was displaced due to damage caused by the fire. The fire is being investigated by the Gloucester Township Police Department and the Erial Fire Department Fire Marshals Office.
This is a reminder to check your fire alert and suppression systems to ensure that 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.
