SOUTH SEAVILLE- Firefighters responded to a multi-alarm structure fire here at 13 Siskin Lane around 1:15 a.m. on October 4.

The fire was called in by a neighbor who saw a "bright light" in the rear of the single family dwelling that caught his attention, the neighbor then realized the home was on fire and called 9-1-1.

When South Seaville firefighters arrived on the scene they reported the structure to be fully involved. Ocean View, Dennisville, Belleplain and Woodbine were requested to the scene to assist with the blaze that was under control in twenty minutes.

The home sustained heavy damage in the fire. According to the neighbor that reported the fire, the family that lives in the home were not home at the time of the fire.

Belleplain Emergency Corps responded to the scene for rehab. No injuries were reported.

The fire is under investigation by the Cape May Fire Marshall

The fire has been ruled as electrical fire. It started under the house in the crawl space at an electrical outlet in which the water pump had been plugged into.

Wanted to make a correction to the article, South Seaville and OceanView are the same fire company, OceanView Fire Co.

Just an FYI - There is no South Seaville Fire Department, all firefighters are in the Ocean View Fire Company, with a substation on Main in South Seaville and a substation on Rt. 9 in Ocean View.....Two stations, one company. Thanks

We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support they have offered, and continue to offer. My children and are doing well, and are now living in Cape May Court House. The outstanding support of all the neighbors (you have all been amazing!) and public agencies have made this tragedy much easier to get through. We would like to thank ALL of the firefighters and emergency response people from all of the different boroughs for their excellent work and aftercare. I can not put in to words the immense gratitude I feel toward everyone. Thank you so much! With all your support, you have made this experience so much easier than anyone could have imagined. We will be fine!
