Fire crews responded to a fire at a warehouse fire in Camden, New Jersey that filled the sky with smoke on Wednesday morning.
Officials said that crews were dispatched to a vacant warehouse on the 1000 block of Line Street, near the intersection of Mt. Ephraim and Haddon avenues, at about 6:52 a.m., as flames grew within the structure.
Officials said, as of about 7:34 a.m., that there would be traffic delays along I-676 due to the fire at the nearby structure.
By about 7:30 a.m., SkyForce10 could see smoke and flames pouring from the building as fire crews attempted to put the fire down.
And, at about 8:15 a.m., officials told NBC10 that hazmat crews were headed to the scene to do air quality monitoring.
Later in the morning, a fire official on the scene told NBC10 that there had been signs that there may have been people squatting in the building before the fire took place.
By about 9:10 a.m., officials said, it took crews about an hour and a half to get the fire under control.
No injuries have yet been reported in this incident.
