Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 My old hood as they say. Just a few Days ago while operating at a working fire the quarters of Squad 7 were broken into and robbed. For many years Camden was head and shoulders above the rest of the nation on homicides per capita. The year Philadelphia cracked 400 murders for one year Camden had nearly 100. Philadelphia was a city of 4 million plus at the time, Camden was then around 88,000. My old VFD local bordered the City. Not a fun place for the squeamish after dark or before for that matter.
