Fire Damages South Jersey Textile Plant

No one was injured in a fire that partially destroyed a textile plant in southern New Jersey.

Absecon Mills in Galloway Township was closed when the blaze broke out Sunday night.

Fire Chief Ron Garbutt told The Press of Atlantic City the fire was primarily confined to a loading, shipping and storage area.

Garbutt says fire walls in the building were constructed to prevent flames from spreading.

The cause is under investigation. Absecon Mills employs about 100 people.
