Building Collapses in Camden

Police are searching the ruins of a South Jersey house after it collapsed Saturday night.

The two-story twin home located on the 1300 block of Atlantic Avenue in Camden crumbled to the ground shortly after 8 p.m.

The house was vacant, but authorites searched the building's remains to ensure no one was inside when it collapsed.

Police say a fire in the property caused the collapse.

Officials closed Atlantic Aveneu between Coral Street and Haddon Avenue and Haddon Avenue between Bradley and Landsdowne avenues while they investigate.
