🔥 An extremely large brush fire is burning in West Deptford Twp. in the area of Sunoco Refinery property.

💨 Smoke plumes and fallen ash are reported as far south and east as Glassboro, Washington Twp., Franklin Twp. and beyond.

🚨 Onlookers are urged to stay out of the area! The amount of unnecessary vehicle and pedestrian traffic near the fire scene is hindering the emergency response and fire suppression efforts.

🚒 A vast number of resources throughout Gloucester County are on the scene or responding, fighting the fire and protecting structures. Multiple Fire Boats from both sides of the Delaware and teams from New Jersey Forest Fire Service are also assisting.

📣 Conditions are subject to change or worsen due to high winds or fire conditions.

⚠️ Those with health or breathing problems are urged to stay indoors or shut windows, if you are sensitive to smoke. ... See MoreSee Less

About the Bureau of Fire Prevention

The Washington Township Bureau of Fire Prevention was established in 1985 in response to the State of New Jersey mandating that certain buildings and occupancy types should be inspected for fire and life safety violations. Since its inception, the Bureau of Fire Prevention has continued to grow due to increased inspection responsibilities attributed to continued commercial growth in Washington Township. The Bureau of Fire Prevention has also undertaken an aggressive fire prevention program aimed at stopping fires before they start.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact the Bureau of Fire Prevention at 856-863-4012.

Fire Safety Prevention

There are several ways to protect yourself, your family and your community

To help us, and the community, we are asking residents to Adopt a Hydrant. As you shovel your walks and driveways, we ask that you also include the area around the hydrant that is located on your block. Hydrants are typically located at the end or middle of each block, but they are used to protect all of the properties for 500 to 1,000 feet in both directions. In a fire situation, seconds count! Every few minutes a fire can double in size so it’s important for us to locate a hydrant, connect and establish a water supply quickly. Please join us in our efforts to keep Washington Township safe!
