On Wednesday June 3rd just before midnight, the box alarm was transmitted for a reported dwelling fire in the 100 block of West Spencer Ave. Upon Engine Co. 38's arrival, Capt. Troiano reported fire in the rear of a 1 story vacant dwelling. Engine 2 and Rescue Co. 3 arrived on scene while F-300 Chief D'Amico assumed Command. Engine Co. 38 quickly stretched two 1-3/4" hoselines with one going to the rear of the dwelling and the other going inside of the dwelling. Entry was forced into the dwelling while the exterior fire was knocked down. The fire was mostly contained to the exterior of the building with minor extension into the dwelling. Due to the quick response the fire was quickly knocked down and further damage prevented. The fire is under investigation by the Wildwood City FD and Cape May County Fire Marshal's Office. Units operated on the scene for about 2 hours before taking up. |
