CAMDEN FIREMEN BURNED
Not Much of a Fire But Hospital Got Busy
Three Camden firemen were severely burned yesterday when a five-gallon gasoline tank exploded while they were fighting the flames in the rear of 219 North Front street, occupied by Charles Bowers and family. The injured included Daniel Yeach, of 643 York street; David Bakely, of 645 Clinton street, and Charles Worthington, the latter captain of Engine Company No. 6, of which company the others were members. The men were taken to the Cooper Hospital.
The fire burned the rear part of the house, causing a loss of several hundred dollars.
