At 1:15pm on Friday March 23rd, the Collingswood Fire Department, the Camden County Health Department, and Camden County HazMat responded to the Newton Creek for an oil spill on the waterway.
Apparently a local business while removing a heater spilled a large amount of heating oil which made it into the storm drain system and ultimately ending up in the Newton Creek.
Engine 1613, Rescue 161, Marine 16, BLS 1647 and Car 1601 were on location \”booming\” the creek in an effort to contain the spill until clean up crews could arrive.
The impact to the waterway and wildlife environment is currently unknown.
