SWAINTON – Court House Fire Company No. 1 responded to a report of a structure fire with possible entrapment on the first block Brookridge Avenue at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 4.
“It was a little worse than a chimney fire,” said Chief Paul Hand. “It looked worse than it was.”
The fire was contained to the attic, and was declared under control at 7 p.m., according to scanner reports.
There was a couple in the home at the time of the fire. A neighbor alerted them and they were able to exit the home. There were no injuries reported, Hand added.
Stone Harbor responded for rapid intervention along with Goshen who sent a tanker, which was later recalled. Rio Grande provided backup for Court House.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Cape May County Fire Marshal’s Office.
