Upon arrival, officers located a 14-month-old child in the backseat of a locked vehicle that was not running, with the windows closed. The child appeared to be sleeping but was visibly sweating, as outside temperatures were in the mid-80s.
Officers were able to gain entry to the vehicle and safely remove the child. The child’s father was contacted, and Bensalem EMS transported the child to St. Mary Medical Center, where he was evaluated and later released to his father.

If you would like to live in a community in which you take great pride, then dedicate yourself to that with humility and action. Spending your years in this city isn’t just about being neighbors; it’s doing life together. Charles P. “Zeke” Cziryak carried great pride in his country and his city. There are times when we make history, and there are times when history makes us. “Zeke’s” home had contributed to the manpower of our great nation, upholding the ideals of our American freedoms, serving as a Lance Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps during the very beginning of the Vietnam War. Mr. Cziryak was a kind, generous, and caring family man who just adored his wife, “Dutchie,” his family, country, and his city.
We’ve reached the age where life stops giving things; it now takes them away. But don’t fear sadness, as it tends to sit right next to love. Charles P. “Zeke” Cziryak passed away on Monday, April 6, 2026, at Cooper Hospital, Camden. To the whole world, you were just a husband, father, and pop. To your family, you were our world.

NATIONAL PARK, NJ–Around 10:30 AM Saturday, April 11, 2026, black and dark gray smoke plumes were visible to the west. The smoke could be seen from far away, even from the Walt Whitman Bridge. “Lookie Lou’s” from all over South Jersey were driving toward the smoke, trying to find the source. CNBNews initially headed to Water Street, Gloucester City. Finding nothing, we drove to Old Crown Point Road, West Deptford, thinking the fire was at the Sunoco Refinery tank farm that faces The Piston Diner.
Not seeing anything at that location, we drove to the nearby community of National Park. Traffic was backed up from the 295 exit ramp to the Hessian Avenue traffic light. As Sweetie and I neared the fire, the smoke turned a dark black. Despite having my van windows closed and the AC on, my eyes began to tear, and I began to choke uncontrollably. Sweetie began to whimper. At that point, traffic was getting more congested. We abandoned our search for the fire’s location and headed home.
