The Winslow Fire Department said no residents were injured but a firefighter was evaluated on scene for a minor injury.

The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Camden County Fire Marshal.

In a statement, Winslow fire officials said the residents were awoken by a fire alarm. When firefighters arrived they found a fire on the third floor.

A total of six townhouses were evacuated, but when the fire was extinguished the damage was limited to the original townhouse. Fire officials did not say whether the home was habitable.
