Camden EMR Fire Report: The actions of the employees made it worse

The reaction of firefighters was the fact that they had difficulty getting a water supply “due to the distance between different water networks,” wrote Tirado in the report.

Other responner describes a path that was blocked by Jersey barriers and has to force the entry through a side gate to gain access to water.

Finally, the EMR employees worked together in coordination with the fire brigade.

According to the report, more than a dozen units, including four engines, three ladders and several firefighters, reacted to the fire. According to the EMR, the flame took about 12 hours to delete them completely, and the reaction lasted 18 hours of fire fighting, wrote Tirado.

“This was a long operation,” he wrote.

According to a spokesman for Camden County, the latest fire has been the sixth sixth of the facility since 2016. The company has a history of security violations of environmental and work in South Camden.

Whyy News sent EMR questions about the reaction of his employees on the fire and training of employees in fire security, prevention and reaction from the company, but has not yet received an answer.

The company divided a statement with Whyy News last week, said the cause of the fire was a lithium-ion battery that was incorrectly delivered to EMR. The company demands more regulation of these batteries.

“We are angry that this has happened and regret deeply inconvenience for our neighbors,” the explanation said. “The federal government and the legislator of New Jersey have to enter into to ensure that lithium-ion batteries do not pose any further risks for our communities.”

“While EMR took several proactive measures to prevent these batteries from entering our recycling stream, the government must act immediately,” the explanation said.

Until last Tuesday, the state firefighter still examined the cause of the fire.
