Explosion, Fire Under Investigation in Gloucester County: EMA

LOGAN TWP., NJ — Fire crews extinguished a blaze at a trucking facility in Logan Township on Thursday morning, the Gloucester County Office of Emergency Management said.

Multiple people called 911 just before 8 a.m. after an explosion near the U.S 130/ NJ 144 corridor in Bridgeport, said the EMA. The Logan Township Fire Department and mutual aid companies traced the source to a trucking facility on Cedar Swamp Road, said officials.

Crews doused the fire and fought multiple smaller fires in the area, bringing it under control in just under an hour, said the EMA. Photos posted by the Logan Township Fire Department showed a small structure on fire.

The EMA said one employee was reported to have a minor burn injury, "but was denying medical care."

A tractor-trailer fire in a Wawa parking lot was also extinguished in Logan Township as crews were clearing the original scene, officials said. No other injuries were reported.

Fire officials in Logan and Woolwich categorized the main blaze as a brush fire.

The fire marshal's office and police will continue to investigate.
