ATLANTIC CITY-A fire that fire officials are calling suspicious, gutted a vacant row house in Atlantic City late Friday night.

Fire crews responded to the 1100 block of Arctic Avenue, to find flames coming from the front of the structure and spreading to the upper floors.

It took some 20 fire fighters to fight the blaze, which was quickly brought under control, due to the utilities being shut off.

There were no reported injuries.

MULLICA TWP.--Some home improvement work appears to have caused a blaze in Mullica Township Tuesday afternoon.

Fire crews from several volunteer departments responded to the residence on the 500 block of Warton Park Boulevard shortly after 3:30p.m.

Despite crews getting a handle on the blaze in less than 15 minutes, the house did sustain serious smoke and water damage.

"Guy working on plumbing and a torch set a fire up inside the wall into the crawl space and wound up in the attic," explains Assistant Chief Louis Critelli of Elwood Volunteer Fire Company.

Fire officials say it may be some time before the residents of the house will be able to move back in.
