A 2 alarm fire destroyed 2 10 x 45 3 story twin occupied homes in Pennsauken Township on July 25, 2002.
Upon their arrival firefighters encountered heavy fire condtions. A 2nd alarm was transmitted shorty after, and many units were specialed on the call.
Within 20 minutes of the fire departments arrival there was a collapse of the main fire building porch. This collapse pinned 3 firefighters for less then 10 minutes.
The three firefighters sustained minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals for treatment and released shortly after.The fire's origin is still under the investigation by the Pennsauken Fire Prevention/Camden County Fire Mashalls Office.
