Route 30 in Camden Reopens after Brush Fire

Westbound lanes along Route 30 in Camden have reopened after a brush fire broke out underneath a bridge.

Fire crews responded to the fire on Admiral Wilson Boulevard underneath the Flanders Avenue Bridge around 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning. 

The cause of the fire is unknown, but appears to be accidental, according to County Spokesman Dan Keashen.

One victim was taken to Temple University Hospital for burns. No other injuries were reported.  

Investigators from the fire department and NJ State Department of Transportation are inspecting the bridge's stability. 

The eastbound section of the boulevard will stay closed until the New Jersey DOT finishes structural inspections of the roadway and overpass.
