This afternoon the engine company was dispatched to cover Sta 131 (Lumberton) while units in the RV district operated at a 2 alarm fire. Shortly after arriving in D13 the engine was detailed to a Wild land fire in D18 (Pemberton/Browns Mills). The Engine is standing by for an assignment along side numerous other companies from the area.
Update: The crew of Engine 1222 and Capt. 1202 responded to a report of a tree leaning on wires in D18. While responding they came across a minor MVA checked for any patients before turning the scene back over to Pd. Now the crew and other members of the department are back home freshening up on their saw skills.

At 2:48pm, Task Force 12 and companies from Willingboro and Cinnaminson were dispatched for smoke coming from the roof of a house on the 200 block of Coolidge Ave in Edgewater Park. Crews from Engine 1222 and Engine 1612 (Willingboro) arrived and were met with high heat and fire at the front door, but entry was hampered due to hoarding conditions. Ladder 1215 ventilated the roof to release the extreme heat and smoke. With the assistance of companies from Riverside, Delanco, Moorestown, Riverton, Delran, and Endeavor (Burlington City) EMS, the fire was placed under control in less than one hour. The investigation is being conducted for the cause by the Edgewater Park and Burlington County Fire Marshalls Office.
Side Note: Task Force 12 refers to the newly created mutual aid partnership between Beverly, Delanco, and Riverside Fire Departments that creates a joint response to all 3 towns during certain types of incidents.

Tuesday evening companies were dispatched to local business for a automatic fire alarm. When the emergency contact arrived crews found a light smoke condition in the office area. After a extensive search for the smoke condition crews found a charging base that malfunctioned. As you can see from the pictures, one of the cords shorted out. Its incidents like this that fire safety should be in everyone's head. Unplug cords and items that are not being used.
The business had a fire alarm that was working properly and monitored. Make sure your fire alarm system and smoke detectors are working properly.
