Thirtieth Street runs from the Delaware River south, across River Road to the Pavonia railroad switching yard, then to Westfield Avenue and on to Federal Street, and to the intersection of Line Street and Beacon Avenue, just above Waldorf Street. It is North 30th Street above Federal and South 30th below.

Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson, 70, mother of Elks exalted ruler Harry G. Robinson and widow of retired Camden fire captain Charles H. Robinson, died in Collingswood. The Robinsons were pioneer residents of Park Boulevard.

Seven Camden firemen, six of them from the Kaighn Avenue house, fought their way out back to back when flames surrounded them in a fire that gutted three stores at 1118-1122 Broadway; Mrs. Tillie Sackett saved two small girls whose clothing had caught fire.

Mrs. Sophia Franks, a widow, of 1023 Francis street, Camden, was rescued from a fire started by her own children by Assistant Fire Chief Buzine and Fireman Charles Robinson.

Four Camden firemen were injured when Chemical Engine No. 2 overturned after its front wheels caught in a trolley switch at Second Street while it was answering an alarm at Front Street and Kaighn Avenue.
