Fire crews rushed to the scene of a multi-alarm fire in Hammonton, Atlantic County, New Jersey Tuesday night.

The blaze broke out just before 8 p.m. at the former Skinner Glassworks building on N. Egg Harbor Road near Pratt Street.

Ladder trucks and tankers from Egg Harbor City and Gloucester County were called in to help battle the fire. A hazmat team was also on scene, because authorities believed there may be chemicals in the abandoned building.

No word on any injuries, nor on what started the fire.
