Wildwood Fire Department Extinguishes Attic Fire

Ladder trucks arrive at the blaze on Maple Avenue.

By Herald Staff

WILDWOOD – Wildwood Fire Department responded to and extinguished an evening house fire Memorial Day weekend.
Just before 10 p.m. May 29, firefighters responded to 204 W. Maple Avenue for a dwelling fire. All building occupants were safely evacuated when the department arrived. They told fire officials the fire was in the attic.
Targeting the moderate smoke on the second floor of the two-story duplex, firefighters placed the blaze under control in less than 15 minutes. 
The home was damaged by fire in the attic, damaged by smoke on the second floor and damaged by water throughout. The Cape May County Fire Marshal’s Office determined a faulty ventilation fan on the second floor as the source. 
The Wildwood Fire Department remained on scene to assist occupants with removing their belongings before clearing the scene.
