I think it is a shame that some person had to be so childish that they had to burn it down. Alot of people would have loved to see it restored. Is this the way we are teaching our kids to deal with things? Cant get your own way so you burn it down? I am very gald the fire companys made it out with out any harm done to them. But come on people this isnt wildwood we dont have jewish lightening we have stupid who have nothing better to do then torch a landmark.

I think is a real disgrace that the Fish-n-Widlife put so much on the Lower Police and the township.I heard that night of the fire on the scanner the Brass of Fish-Wildlife didnt even want to show up to the fire and come and help.They said its not that big of a deal.Sounds like my 18 year old non-caring son.Good job Lower Police and Fire Depts. Thank You

Good riddance to that mouldy, dangerous building. NOW the other broken buildings will be demolished and the enormous amount of trash removed with less cost to the taxpayers. The neighboring houses will no longer be at risk for vandalism, trespassers and, apparently, arsonists. And the entire wildlife preserve will become a haven for precisely what is meant for - wildlife. It is wonderful how Mother Nature advocates her own.
