FOX 29's Dave Schratwieser reports. MULLICA HILL, N.J. - A home in Mullica Hill was destroyed as flames were fueled by high winds.
Joanne Sowney wasn't home when a fire raced through her Mullica Hill home on Harrisonville Road on Thursday afternoon chasing her family from the house. "My husband, son and my two precious granddaughters were home at the time because of the situation with the COVID-19," she told FOX 29.
Sowney's husband, children and grandchildren escaped the home where they've lived for the past 27 years. They were not injured.
Fire officials say 50 plus mile per hour winds whipped this fire, spreading it so quickly it was impossible to save the two story home.
