Two-Alarm Fire Tuesday Causes Damage, No Serious Injuries
The fire at the Coldwell Bank building at 20 Kings Highway West occurred at 3:43 a.m. Tuesday.
A two-alarm fire early Tuesday morning in an office building on Kings Highway West in Haddonfield spewed heavy smoke, caused structural damage and led to one firefighter being taken to the hospital as a "precationary measure," according to the fire chief.
The blaze at 20 Kings Highway West was reported at 3:43 a.m. It was under control by 4:15 a.m. It appeared to have started on the third floor of the three-story office building and spread to the attic and roof, fire Chief Joe Riggs said. Kings Highway West near the PATCO rail station was closed until 6 a.m.
The cause of the fire appears to have been electrical, Riggs said. The building is a Coldwell Banker real-estate office. Riggs said the firefighter who was transported was expected to leave the hospital Tuesday morning.
