7:30 PM - Fatal fire in Lakewood. I believe it's in the area of Cedar Bridge Ave. near the RR tracks. The area has been declared a crime scene. County Fire Marshals, Sheriff, and CIU are on scene. I missed the dispatch so I didn't hear anything initially. Anyone with any additional info please post.

Yes - I too missed the dispatch. It was a fire in a "tent city" area. Many illegal aliens have taken up residence this way in some of the wooded sections of lakewood. When ever the pd or fd shows up at these incidents suddenly the place is deserted and no one can be found. Same thing happened last year in another one of these tent cities.
