Galloway Twp., NJ – Fire on 100 Block of Waterview Dr Injures One

Galloway Twp., NJ (December 11, 2025) – Early Wednesday morning, December 10, at around 4 a.m., a fire tore through the Mallard’s Landing Condominiums on the 100 block of Waterview Drive, leaving one man injured and prompting a full investigation.

When the blaze erupted, a neighbor recorded the flames consuming the second-floor unit on video. Crews from the Oceanville Fire Department arrived shortly after the fire erupted and began search and rescue operations. They located a man in his 60s  inside the unit, who was later flown to Temple University Hospital’s burn center for treatment.

After the fire was extinguished, investigators from the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office and the state fire marshal examined the charred condo, taking photos and collecting evidence. Officials confirmed that smoke alarms were sounding when crews arrived.

One resident living below the burned unit reported being awakened by a noise and seeing an orange glow through her window. She is now staying with family and praised the community for its support. 

The fire is being considered suspicious, and the prosecutor’s office is asking anyone with information to come forward. Officials noted that investigations by the prosecutor’s office are standard procedure when a fire results in serious injury.

We hope the injured victim and those affected by this accident make a safe and full recovery. 

Compensation After Fires in New Jersey

Fires often bring devastating losses, from injuries and emotional trauma to the destruction of homes and personal property. Victims and families in New Jersey may be entitled to pursue different forms of compensation depending on the circumstances of the fire.

Available compensation may include:

• Medical expenses: Coverage for hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, medication, and long-term treatment related to fire injuries.
• Lost wages: Reimbursement for time away from work while recovering or caring for injured family members.
• Loss of earning capacity: If injuries prevent someone from returning to their previous job or reduce future income potential.
• Pain and suffering: Financial relief for physical pain and emotional distress caused by injuries or loss.
• Property damage: Repair or replacement costs for destroyed or damaged homes, belongings, and vehicles.
• Displacement costs: Assistance for temporary housing, food, and essentials if families are forced out of their homes.

If you or a loved one were injured in a fire and believe the fire was caused by someone else’s negligence (such as unsafe conditions, faulty wiring, or lack of proper maintenance), you may be entitled to seek compensation for your injuries and losses. New Jersey law allows fire victims to seek compensation through insurance claims and, in some cases, lawsuits against responsible parties. Legal support can make a fundamental difference, helping families focus on healing while pursuing the resources they need to rebuild their lives.
