ATLANTIC CITY-- Fire crews battled a vicious two-alarm fire this morning, which sent one firefighter to the hospital.

The Atlantic City Fire Department responded to the 1000 Block of Baltic Ave. just before 11 a.m. The aggressive blaze consumed the exteriors of two separate buildings. Each fire burned the rears of two stories of those buildings. Fire officials said it took around 15 minutes to get the fire under control.

One firefighter was sent to the hospital, but is said to be in stable condition.

The fire is still under investigation.

PLEASANTVILLE — Firefighters contained an attic fire Sunday on Decatur Avenue, avoiding injuries or significant damage to the home.

The blaze began at about 5:25 p.m. and lasted about 16 minutes before nine responding firefighters controlled the flames inside the one-story building at 61 E. Decatur Ave., authorities said.

Acting Battalion Chief Stephen Wilkins said officials determined the fire was electrical in nature and was clearly accidental. The house was only damaged by smoke and water damage. No one was injured. Two engines and one ladder truck responded to the incident.
