A firefighter from the Camden Fire Department has died after he fell into the icy waters of the Delaware River late Thursday morning.
It happened during a routine maintenance check of a fire boat, officials said.
It’s not yet known how the firefighter fell into the water. The name of the firefighter has not been released.
“Camden’s prayers are with the family, because he wasn’t just a public servant. He was a husband, a brother, a father that committed his adult life to serving, and protecting, and being there for our residents in the city,” said Mayor Victor Carstarphen during an afternoon news conference.
