Just the day before, firefighters from in and around Galloway Township fought a fire at Groff's Recycling Center on Clarks Landing Road at around 2:30 Sunday afternoon. Arriving officers and firefighters found what was described as a large debris pile fully engulfed in flames. There, an official with the Absecon Fire Department told The Press of Atlantic City, "the fire stemmed from a 500-gallon fuel tank at the junkyard." Crews were able to prevent the fire from spreading to a nearby wooded area and no one was hurt fighting this fire.
