At 18:33 this evening, Task Force 344 was dispatched to a reported dwelling fire at 109 3rd Street. The caller reported that the residence was filled with smoke coming from an unknown source.
Gloucester City Battalion 5 and Westville Chief 701 arrived on scene and confirmed a smoke condition throughout the interior of the dwelling. Crews from Engine 3443, Engine 733, and Squad 5 arrived, secured a water supply, and began investigating the interior of the residence to locate the source of the smoke.
Crews located a burned-up motor within the HVAC system in the basement, which was determined to be the source of the smoke. Ladder 736 operated a positive-pressure ventilation fan to remove the smoke from the dwelling.
Once the smoke was ventilated and the investigation was completed, the scene was turned over to the homeowner.
