House Fire On Weymouth Road

 
 

The residents of a house that was severely damaged by flames Thursday in Mullica Township have been displaced, though neither occupant was present at the time of the fire.

Mullica police said the township's Public Works Supervisor Steve Sperlak called in the fire, at about 3:05 p.m., after checking there was no one inside the residence in the 300 block of Weymouth Road.

Three fire companies arrived at the scene, in the Elwood section of the township, and suppressed the heavy fire in the ranch style home.

Damage to the home, occupied by two residents, is estimated in excess of $100,000, police said.

The fire began in the master bedroom but the cause is still under investigation.

The American Red Cross said they provided food, clothes, shoes, transportation and lodging to the displaced occupants.
