A rash of overnight fires in Camden during a February 1967 snowstorm destroyed Ray's Tavern at 5th and Mickle Streets and damaged four buildings; police and firemen rescued four elderly residents, and Acting Battalion Chief Arthur Batten's crew answered the second call for aid after fighting two North Camden blazes.

Three Engine Company 8 hosemen, including Clarence Hawkins of 1570 Park Boulevard, were sickened by fumes after police used a carbon tetrachloride extinguisher on a mattress fire on Walnut Street.
