MULLICA TOWNSHIP - A total of eleven companies responded to a fire Thursday night on 7th Avenue that reduced a two-story garage and rental apartment to rubble and destroyed about an acre of forest, Police Captain Brian Zeck said.
All four companies from Mullica Township responded, as did companies from Egg Harbor City, Hammonton, Mays Landing and others. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service also responded.
The apartment was vacant and no one was injured, Zeck said.
