A minivan which caught on fire was quickly extinguished by Willingboro Firefighters on the afternoon of December 17th. The department was called to Charleston Road near Levitt Parkway at 12:54 pm when 911 was called to report the van on fire.

The fire was extinguished in about 10 minutes. Engine 1613 was on scene until the vehicle was towed from the roadway at 1:47 pm
