ATLANTIC CITY — The president of the local firefighter union is calling on the city and the state to bring back Engine Co. 4, which served the Ducktown neighborhood, in the wake of a fire that left more than 70 people displaced Thursday.
“Yesterday’s fire at 28 S. Georgia Ave. offers tangible data regarding ACFD staffing and responses,” said John Varallo Jr., president of Professional Firefighters NJ FMBA Local 8, in a statement on Facebook. “Had Engine 4 been operational yesterday a fully staffed engine company would (have) responded to the fire on 28 South Georgia which had trapped and fleeing occupants from a mere 3 blocks away.”
The company closed about five years ago because of budget cuts, officials said.

Fire Chief Scott Evans did not immediately return a request for comment.
“The taxpayers and visitors of Atlantic City need to know their safety is in good hands with the current layout of the Atlantic City Fire Department, with nine stations open and 198 staff members, something Mayor Small fought hard to make happen over the course of many meetings with the State,” the city said in a statement. “The fire department also currently has more apparatus than under any other administration thanks to Mayor Small. In a dream world, we’d have an engine company on every corner of the City, but that’s not conducive from a fiscal perspective. Our nine fire houses are strategically located to best serve every block within the City of Atlantic City.”
Five people were injured and 76 displaced by the five-alarm apartment fire Thursday morning. Three people were taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, officials said, while the remaining two were taken to an unnamed burn center.
Additionally, three firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion, while another suffered an ankle injury.
Five people were injured and 76 displaced by a five-alarm fire Thursday morning at an apartment building on South Georgia Avenue, city officials said.
“We responded to yesterday’s fire in the proper time frame with adequate manpower, a trend we expect will continue in all future emergency situations,” the statement read. “The City is always open to meet with the fire union to discuss concerns, however, the fire union should always come to the City first with these concerns rather than use an unfortunate situation like S. Georgia Avenue fire where individuals, including firefighters, were injured and others lost their homes and belongings.”
Part of the 24-unit building collapsed onto South Georgia Avenue.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
On Friday morning, crews were at the site razing buildings that were damaged by the fire.

“In emergency situations such as the one we all witnessed yesterday fractions of a second count,” Varallo said. “Properly trained firefighters, responding on properly working apparatus, stationed in proper locations increase life saving capabilities and reduce destruction of property.”
