OCEAN VIEW – At about 1:32 a.m. Sept. 6, the Ocean View Fire Company, along with the Dennis Township Fire Company, were dispatched to the 400 block of Corson’s Tavern Road, for a reported structure fire. 
According to a release from the Ocean View Fire Department, while responding, Chief 17 observed heavy fire in the distance and requested the box to be filled, adding the Seaville Fire Company for a tanker, Sea Isle City Fire Department for a quint, and Avalon Fire Department for a Rapid Intervention Crew.
