At a little past 1400 hours on June 22, 2026, the Camden County Fire Alarm Room dispatched the Cherry Hill Fire Department to Kresson Road for the report of a dwelling fire. CHFD Battalion Chief Steve Kinky arrived at 509 C Kresson Road and reported an exterior fire that appeared to be extending into a two story building. First due companies, confirmed the fire extended into the building and the mansard style roof. The building was set back from the road. Although the first due units had longer hose stretches, they made quick work of knocking down the bulk of the fire, but the fire did extend into the mansard roof. Extensive overhaul was required from the exterior and interior to get ahead of the fire. A cat was safely removed from the building and reunited with its owner. Haddonfield, Mt Laurel, and Westmont units assisted the CHFD. Other surrounding units were able to cover Cherry Hill while the CHFD was committed to this fire. The fire was place under control at about the 35 minute mark.
