EWING (Mercer) – A detached garage located behind a home on Carlton Avenue was destroyed by fire today (Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023). Ewing Township career and volunteer firefighters were dispatched to the blaze at 78 Carlton Avenue at 2:57 p.m. A column of smoke that was visible from at least as far away as Quakerbridge Road and Sloan Avenue in Hamilton Township signaled a working fire to responding firefighters and mutual aid from Hamilton was called into the scene to assist. Three hoselines were placed in service to prevent flames from spreading to the adjacent home. The blaze was declared under control at 3:35 p.m. Initial reports of people trapped inside the burning structure proved to be unfounded and there were no injuries reported. The cause of the blaze was being investigated by Ewing police and fire officials.
