It is with deep regret that we advise you that a Firefighter with East Greenwich Township N.J. died in the Line of Duty this morning while responding to a fire call. Companies were dispatched to a reported dwelling fire where a neighbor was seeing flames in the window. Police arrived on location and advised that it was just a salamander a unit used for heating a house under construction in the residence-and was a good intent call. While en-route the Engine Company pulled over calling Gloucester County Fire Radio requesting a medic and BLS to their current location for an unresponsive Firefighter. With a BLS unit on the way to the fire call they were with the FF in less than a minute and along with the FFs began early defib and CPR. EMS transported the Firefighter reported to be in his 40s to the hospital where he never recovered and passed away. -151-
