A fire in a rural part of Camden County created some challenges for firefighters Friday night. Firefighters were called here to Titan Drive late Friday night for a mobile home fire. ”We were dispatched at 9:18 p.m. to a report structure fire off of Snellings road. Upon arrival, we found the trailer over 50% involved,” said Division Chief Mark Amsinger with the Mid County Fire Protection District. Nobody was in the home at the time nor was anyone hurt. Titan Drive in Montreal is a rural part of Camden County meaning no fire hydrants nearby, something that is vital to fighting fires. ”It’s a very, very rural area, limited on water supply. Our station four, which was about a mile away from that has an underground storage facility of about 30,000 gallons which we’re able to use to help shuttle water," said Divison Chief Amsinger.
