Fire and Multiple 9-1-1 Calls Responded to by Galloway Police, Fire & EMS

At 12:21 PM Galloway Township Police Communications received a 9-1-1 call reporting a structure fire at Lucky Nails located at 45 S. New York Road.  A second 9-1-1 call was then received of another structure fire in the 100 block of Mattix Run.

The Oceanville, Port Republic, and Pomona fire companies responded with Galloway Police to the New York Road fire.  A camp stove being used inside the building set the surrounding contents of a room on fire.  The sprinkler system was activated and the building sustained smoke and water damage.  An investigation by Galloway Township Fire Marshal Ron Garbutt and Ofc. Bill Schroer determined the fire to be accidental in nature.

The Bayview and Pomona fire companies responded with Galloway Police to the Mattix Run fire.  Officer Ron Gorneau and Lt. Joseph Picardi made entry into the apartment and extinguished a small kitchen fire prior to fire department arrival.  An investigation by Lt. Picardi determined the fire to be accidental in nature resulting in minor property damage.

During these fires six unrelated EMS calls were also handled by Galloway Township Ambulance Squad and Atlanticare EMS.  


"The Police Department wishes to acknowledge Director of Communications Kurt Hackney and Dispatcher Katie Lawrence for their efforts in efficiently handling these emergencies" stated Lt. Joseph Picardi in a news release.
