EGG HARBOR TWP. -- When disaster strikes, firefighters and first responders need to be prepared for the very worst. So Sunday afternoon, nearly 100 safety officials participated in a live victim rescue, where their skills were put to the test.

Firefighters practiced Sunday with mock serious accidents, including a cement mixer on top of a car, a tractor trailer on a mini van and chain reaction type incidents.

Officials say accidents like this happen every day and responders need to learn how to work together as a team for the safety of everyone involved.

Fire departments from Egg Harbor Twp., Galloway Twp., Northfield and Cape May Co. departments including Seaville and Marmora participated.

Police departments and ambulance squads were also on hand.

EGG HARBOR TWP. -- A fast moving fire destroyed a home in the Bargaintown section of the township early Wednesday morning.

It was around 9:00am when multiple area fire departments rushed to scene on the unit block of Coronado Lane. Despite a rapid response, the flames were able to rip through most of the house, leaving it a near total loss. It's believed the homeowner was inside when it broke out, but was able to get to safety in time. No other injuries were reported either.

It's still unclear what may have sparked the massive blaze, but an investigation is ongoing.
