FIRE! Massive Fire in Bellmawr

UPDATE:01/31 11am
Article at NJ.com says, regarding the other businesses...
Only a firewall prevented from the fire spreading to the martial arts center and the adjoining Monster Factory Wrestling School.


A large fire erupted at Ana Laboratories in Bellmawr tonight around 8pm.

My daughter was stopping over at the house... and made a passing comment of "oh, looked like there was a big fire starting near 42." I was able to get over there in minutes, and take the photos that are in the link below.

Anna Laboratories is an Oil, Grease testing lab... so there is plenty of fuel for the fire.

The building is located near the entrance to rt 42 south, in the same building (opposite end) as the Monster Factory wrestling hall that we've all past a million times on our way to Rt 42. The lab is closer to Coolidge Ave.

In the Picasa Album, I just added an edited Aerial shot from Maps.Live.Com that shows the location of the building involved in the fire. I was standing mostly at the red dot when taking my photos.

Ironically, the Wrestling Hall promoter was on 94.1 WYSP just this morning promoting a show saturday and I was planning on attending the show to do a blog story on it. Will that show go on?

Let's hope everyone is safe.

I noticed trucks and fire engines from Cherry Hill, Deptford, County Services, and Homeland Security!

Several helicopters were in the air so check the news tonight... or maybe the big news stations will have internet video.
