Audio from a 911 call reporting the fire that killed the president of a major southern New Jersey hospital and his wife indicates that a neighbor heard banging coming from inside the house shortly before first responders arrived.
The neighbor in the audio, posted Wednesday on NJ.com can be heard saying that he saw smoke coming from the house and heard banging coming from inside. He describes the noise as someone trying to get out.
