I drove by the scene on my way out to grab some dinner. @ Approximately 1720, (dispatch was 1717 according to local news) the rear of a one story rancher was fully involved and the fire was spreading. WDPD were on scene and restricting traffic as a crowd was growing. The fire was two alarms in total. I heard command state the fire was mostly put down and they were entering to search for hotspots sometime around 1820 (I didn't look at the clock).
At the same time there was an alarm at Deptford Mall, Lower Level Boscov's and then a power surge knocked power out to 40,000 utility customers.

Reason: clarified the last sentence. The power surge didn't take any one out, it took the power out.
