Firefighter Edward Marbet
Burlington Township Fire Department, Station 301. Burlington, NJ
Firefighter Marbet was alerted to a working fire in his own residence. Despite heavy fire and smoke conditions, and without the protection of turnout gear, Firefighter Marbet rescued his father and fiancée from inside the structure. A neighboring residence notified Emergency Services by a 911 call. After the rescues were made, all indications are that Marbet remained inside the structure in attempt to extinguish the fire. Unfortunately, prior to the arrival of his colleagues, Marbet succumbed to the heat and smoke conditions and his body was found on the second floor of his residence by the Burlington Township Fire Department.
