The blaze broke out around 5:40 a.m. Wednesday at the Johns Manville warehouse on Grove Street in Berlin, Camden County.

No employees appeared to be seriously injured, Johns Manville spokesman Eric Brown told NBC10. Winslow Township police confirmed no one was hurt.
Firefighters from numerous agencies were called in to fight the blaze.
