ATLANTIC CITY -- Officials are investigating possible arson, after a fire outside an apartment building early Monday morning in Atlantic City. This was just one of two incidents that kept firefighters busy during the early hours.

Officials say two incidents happened simultaneously, between the hours of 2:30 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.

The first happened on the 200 block of N. Beach Avenue. That's where officials say someone threw a bag of flaming feces at a home.

The second incident happened at a 10-story apartment building on the 100 block of S. Martin Luther King Blvd. Officials say someone poured accelerant on a rug outside an apartment on the 5th floor, which generated so much smoke that four companies had to respond to make sure there was no other source of the fire. Officials say the fire was definitely intentionally set.

Now officials are investigating whether the incident is related to mischief night, or intentional problems within the building.

John “Jack” Engel doesn’t often visit the stretch of English Creek Avenue where his 1982 Harley Davidson Sportster was sideswiped by a southbound pick-up truck in 1998, and he was left on the side of the road for 10 hours.

He’s never tried to contact the 17-year-old driver, now a woman in her late twenties, who was behind the wheel.

“I don’t want to go there,” said Engel, 52, whose left leg from midcalf down and part of his left elbow were amputated following the accident. “There was a time when I was angry, but that’s a wasted emotion.”

The Egg Harbor Township resident — one of this year’s recipients of the.....Continue Reading
