On , the Camden Fire Department dodged a bullet. A fire was set in the abandoned paper warehouse at South 16th Street and Admiral Wilson Boulevard in East Camden. Units including Engine Company 9, Ladder Companies 1 and 3, Rescue Company 1, and Battalion 2 quickly arrived on scene and the blaze was knocked down in less than fifteen minutes. The building was filled with bales of paper, used pallets, and other debris and dust, and owing to the quick and efficient response by the CFD, another disaster was averted.
