From the Burlington County Fire Chief's Association Website:
The Burlington Township Fire Department regrets to announce the Line of Duty death of firefighter Edward Marbet. Firefighter Marbet was a 14 year veteran, and a past officer of the Burlington Township Fire Department. He joined Station 301 May 1, 1992, Station 302 December 11, 1995, and Burlington City Station 903 February 13, 1996.
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.
He is survived by his Father Charles Marbet, sister and his fiancee Rebecca Daly who is expecting their first child.
