⛈️ It was a very busy night in Delanco and across Burlington County as severe thunderstorms brought heavy rain, lightning, and damaging straight-line winds to the area.
🚒 Your 100% volunteer Delanco Fire Company was dispatched to multiple storm-related incidents, including reports of downed trees and wires in the 400 block of Buttonwood Street, the 300 block of Washington Avenue, and the 200 block of Rancocas Avenue. Crews also assisted EMS with a reported tree-on-person incident in the 100 block of Rancocas Avenue. Fortunately, upon arrival, crews determined the individual was not trapped.
⚠️ Engine 1112, Fire Police 1119, Chief 1100, and Deputy Chief 1101 responded to mitigate the hazards and help keep our community safe.
🔥 After returning to quarters, Quint 1115 was immediately dispatched to Medford Township on the 4th alarm for what ultimately escalated into a 7-alarm fire at Fellowship Alliance Church. Firefighters from Burlington, Camden, and Atlantic Counties worked together throughout the incident. Upon arrival, our crew was assigned to the roof, where they cut holes for ventilation and access to to the fire. Our crews were released shortly before 2am, after spending about 4 hours on location.
