Fire scorches leasing office next to Camden County apartment complex

A fire ripped through a leasing office next to an apartment complex in Camden County, New Jersey, overnight.

Officials reported that around 2:30 a.m. on January 10, 2026, crews were called to the Lakeview Apartments in Gloucester Township after reports of a fire.

NBC10 was on scene, and flames were visible through the roof of the leasing office as firefighters worked to contain the fire.

Officials said it took crews about two hours to get the fire under control.

There was no damage to any of the nearby residential apartment complexes, according to officials.

“It’s more than just a small fire because the entire building was involved, now the good thing was this was separate from any of the residential, so there was really no imminent danger to the residents here; it was just the management office,” said Captain Timothy Kohlmyer of the Gloucester Township Police Department.

No one was in the leasing office at the time of the fire, and no one was reportedly injured, officials said.

At this time, officials are investigating how the fire started and believe it is suspicious in nature, police said.

Anyone who witnessed the fire or has information that may assist investigators is urged to contact the Gloucester Township Police Department at (856) 228-4500.
