On November 16, 2008 at midnight Task Force 16(Collingswood’s Station, Westmont’s Engine) was dispatched to the Collingswood High School Football Stadium for a structure fire. 911 received a call stating the box on top was on fire. Police arrived and confirmed a working fire at the press box area. Engine 1613 secured its own water supply on the way in and stretched a hand line up the rear of the stadium to find the sign on top of the press box on fire. Crews extinguished the blaze without fire extension into the press box. No injuries were reported. The Camden County Fire Marshals have the fire under investigation. Story and Photos by Ted Aurig
