GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Pine Hill Tower Ladder 6 responded to a building fire at the Lakeview Apartment Complex in the Blackwood section of Gloucester Township on Jan. 11, where first-arriving crews found fire throughout the leasing office building.

The incident was upgraded to a second alarm, though the blaze did not threaten the residential apartments. Tower Ladder 6 operated its master stream while crews opened walls, supported suppression efforts and conducted extensive overhaul.
