6abc reports that Hing Far Chinese Restaurant on Maple Avenue in Pennsauken was damaged during a Christmas morning fire shortly before 11 a.m. Fire personnel found a man with serious burn injuries living in an illegal unit of the building.

A number of calls involved broken fire sprinkler pipes from the cold, fire officials added.

EMS personnel also responded to six emergency calls, fire officials said.

“A big thank you to our dedicated staff for making a difference,” Cinnaminson fire officials said.
