A two- alarm fire knock down in Mantua, NJ...
On Sunday the 9th of November, at night, a two- alarm destroyed a mobile home in
Mantua, New Jersey. The reports of a blaze at 70 Lincoln Ave, which is beside
Bridgeton Pike, were received a little after 8pm. There were fire companies, at least from
three towns such as Woodbury, Pitman and including Mantua, on the scene of the fire. I
hate to say it, but these mobile homes burn very quickly. It went up fast said McKinney,

Two adults and a child become ill by carbon monoxide fumes in Winslow Township,
New Jersey.
There are three people, 2 adults and a child in the hospital after being sickened by fumes
in Winslow Township. A call was received in before 4:00 am on Monday. A woman was
reported unconscious at a home. When the paramedics arrived and knocked the front
door, a child answered and after that collapsed. The authorities say that carbon monoxide
levels were so high that medics couldnt enter the home when they first arrived.
Firefighters came to the place and began venting the residence.
The two adults and the child were taken to two area hospitals. There was not an
immediate word on their conditions. The greatest concentration of fumes was in the
basement of the home, suggesting malfunctioning heater or other appliance, authorities
said. There were not other evacuations or injuries that were reported.
