of a two-story single-family residence. The fire extended across the
porch and up the fascia to the attic. Firefighters from Eastampton,
Westampton, Mount Holly, and Hainesport extinguished the blaze. Medical
services were provided by the department's emergency squad and EMT's

Welcome
the Newest Addition to the Fleet!
The fire
department placed into service Marine 341, a sixteen-foot flat-bottomed
SeaArk water/ice rescue craft. It has a 25 HP motor, ice runners, side
rails, and a console. It will be used for water rescue, recovery, and
evacuation along the Rancocas creek, and ice rescue in Smithville Lake.
It replaced a forty year-old twelve-foot V-hull boat poorly suited for
these activities. The department now has four certified ice rescue
instructors as well as several additional ice rescue technicians.
