EGG HARBOR TWP. -- A small fire broke out around 10:00am at an abandoned building near the intersection of Doughty Rd. and Fire Rd. and early Friday morning.

No injuries were reported and crews were able to extinguish the flames rather quickly once on scene. However, they say a preliminary investigation has led them to rule the cause as suspicious. They say it appeared someone tried to cut into a large oil tank adjacent to the house, and sparks from the saw may have started the blaze.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information can contact Egg Harbor Township Police at (609)927-5200.

BRIDGETON -- A South Jersey fire department is receiving more than $100 million in SAFER funding from the Department of Homeland Security.

The Bridgeton Fire Dept. is receiving the money, which was announced Wednesday by U.S. Representative Frank LoBiondo. The money will help recruit, train and retain the firefighters, and keep them safer while performing their everyday dangerous duties.

Officials at the department say they are ecstatic about the grant.

"It's going to be a tremendous boost to our staffing and to the service we can provide to the citizens of Bridgeton," said Chief David Schoch.

The SAFER program awards approximately $420 million in competitive grants to local fire departments, specifically for the recruitment and retention of volunteer and professional firefighters.
