 MONDAY May 9, 2011 Time of Accident 3:49 PM 

Two people were taken to the hospital with burns after their work truck \"BreakingNewsLogo285\" carrying pool chemicals suddenly caught fire on E. Kings Highway in Mount Ephraim. The vehicle was fully engulfed with fire upon arrival of the Mt. Ephraim Fire Department and crews were hampered by burning fuel traveling downhill catching a second vehicle on fire. Audubon Fire Department, Camden County Fire Marshal, and Emergency Management/Hazmat were called as well. A soil berm was made by a local contractor to contain the water and chemical runoff and prevent the contaminated water from reaching a nearby lake. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the fire marshals office. East Kings Highway was closed into the night for removal of the vehicle, debris and hazardous materials.
