This is the view from someones window as the blaze crept close to the neighborhood and the septa regional rail. Annie mccormick is live at the scene. Reporter rick, it has been a windy morning all over our area. This could be a factor on what sparked the fire. The fence is now melted down and the charred remains of what remains of trees. And through the trees you see the rail line there and that is why septa was impacted. This is the peak of a fire that happened early thursday morning when downed lines sparked the fire at this tree line. What we heard was a popping noise in the back of the house. Listen closely you can hear the popping noise from the fire that chuck mcdade describes. Firefighter told him to evacuate. And that heavy winds likely caused the wires to go down and make it harder to fight. I saw it from the corner of my home. There was brush burning behind the houses and we had to shut the trains down because there was fire personal on the tracks. Septa suspended the regional lines west trenton line for a few hours. But the house was not damaged and other houses in their neighborhood were spared too. When it was going up initially i thought we were in trouble. But we are about 60 foot from the fenceline of the property. So i knew the house was okay but Everything Else out there. What damage would it cause and as you see it took the fence down. And back out here live, there were residual delays on septa and there are expected to be no delays later on today or impact from the evening rush. Annie mccormick, channel 6 action news. Thank you.
