Firefighters from three local companies fought against shifting winds and chilly temperatures to suppress a house fire in the unit block of Strawbridge Avenue in Haddon Township Sunday evening. Responders were dispatched to the scene at 10:34 p.m., and arrived to find heavy smoke and fire extruding from the rear of the home, said Westmont Fire Captain Dan Devitt. Working together, teams from Westmont Fire Company, Haddon Fire Company, and Collingswood Fire Department had the scene under control within half an hour, Devitt said.
