WASHINGTON TWP. – It could have been disaster for the owners of a home in the 300 block of Westminster Boulevard Sunday if it weren\’t for the fast action of the Washington Township Fire Department and a specialized unit of county firefighters.

Crews were called out just after 5 p.m. to investigate a structural collapse of a building. Once on the scene, responders found the entire side wall of the basement of the residence had been pushed in.

The Gloucester County Technical Rescue Task Force, a consortium of responders from Washington, Deptford and Gibbstown fire departments along with members of other departments were brought in to shore-up the walls of the basement.
