EGG HARBOR CITY – An early-morning fire spread through three buildings on the 100 block of Philadelphia Avenue downtown, severely damaging one of them. That building holds two upstairs apartments, a clothing shop and a vacant storefront, Fire Chief Russ Fenton said. The American Red Cross is helping the apartments’ residents relocate.

The bar Venice Grill and the grocery La Placita stand on either side. It is not known whether the fire, which lasted from about midnight to 4:30 a.m., will disrupt their business.
