Camden fire sends 5 people out in the cold

CAMDEN, N.J. - January 22, 2011

Firefighters had to battle the flames, smoke and the ice from the water, which quickly froze.

The fire started in the 400 block of Spruce Street in South Camden just after 2:00am Saturday morning.

One resident is being treated for burns at the hospital. The American Red Cross is taking care of the burned out family.

Firefighters had the fire under control in about a half hour with the frigid weather conditions and freezing water.

A cause has yet to be determined.
