MAYS LANDING – A 30 year old Hammonton man has been charged in connection with a fatal accident that took the life of an Atlantic County Corrections Officer on Monday evening, Atlantic County Prosecutor Ted Housel said today.

I wish you could know what it is like to search a burning bedroom for
trapped children at 3 AM, flames rolling above your head, your palms and
knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your weight as the
kitchen below you burns. I wish you could comprehend a wife's horror at 6
in the morning as I check her husband of 40 years for a pulse and find
none.

BRIGANTINE - Police rescued five people from a burning building late Wednesday night in a fire that snarled traffic to and from Atlantic City, police said. Police said they received a report of a possible porch fire in the 4700 block of Brigantine Boulevard at 10:16 p.m. Officers arrived to find the front of the duplex engulfed in flames, said Lt. Robert Rubino.

Officers William Hoffman and Brian Feehan and Detective Frank Hewett entered the building and helped three residents out of one unit and two people from the other outside to safety, Rubino said. There were no reported injuries.

One of the two units was badly burned and appeared to be uninhabitable.

"It seemed to go really, really fast," said neighbor Margie Newton, who saw one woman exit the building with her two dogs. "It blew up fast and they got it out fast."

Both directions of Brigantine Boulevard were closed for about an hour while crews worked. Atlantic City police blocked traffic from getting on the Brigantine bridge. The cause of the fire is under investigation, Rubino said.
