ATLANTIC CITY - Two boys injured in an early morning fire Oct. 24, have been released from the hospital.

Abalid and Edwin Barahona were sleeping when an electrical malfunction sparked a blaze that filled their first-floor bedroom with thick black smoke.

They were rescued from the Atlantic Gardens apartment, but both suffered from smoke inhalation, and were taken to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Edwin, 9, was upgraded to stable condition the next day, but Abalid, 8, remained critical.

However, both boys were released Sunday night, according to Edwin's godmother, Yesenia Delgado.

"Their mother told me yesterday," Delgado said Monday.

She did not know when they would return to Atlantic City.

HAMMONTON - Police have identified the driver and passenger involved in a one-car crash Wednesday night on an Atlantic City Expressway exit ramp.

Shortly before 9 p.m. the vehicle was traveling east on the Atlantic City Expressway at milepost 28.3 when it overturned on the eastbound ramp for Exit 28, according to State Police.

The driver of the vehicle, Thomas Campanella, 18, of Hammonton, was uninjured, police said. But his passenger, Joseph Kane, 19, of Atco, suffered head injuries.

Kane was extricated from the vehicle by members of the Hammonton Fire Company and flown to the trauma unit of AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus, where he was listed in stable condition Thursday afternoon.

Police said the cause of the accident is still under investigation.

BRIGANTINE - A man was hospitalized Sunday after inhaling smoke during an apartment fire on the island.

Firefighters arrived at the apartment on the 900 block of West Brigantine Boulevard at 4:49 p.m., two minutes after a caller reported a fire there, to find heavy black smoke emanating from an apartment above Carmine's Pizza Shop, Brigantine fire Lt. Joseph Maguire said in a statement.

A man living or visiting the second-floor unit was transported to AtlaniCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus, Maguire said. He said he could not release the man's name or condition due to privacy laws.

The restaurant below reopened shortly after firefighters had put out the flames, which six firefighters extinguished in about eight minutes, according to the statement.

Fire Investigator Joseph Lavigna has not determined the cause of the blaze.

People on the scene, however, told officials it may have started after someone left cooking food unattended in the apartment, Maguire said.

The unit sustained $10,000 worth of damage and is presently uninhabitable.
