Firefighters rescued seven riders stranded on a Ferris wheel that broke down at the Camden County Fair Saturday in Gloucester Township. Responders found the fairgoers stuck at various heights on the ride, including at the top about 40 feet from the ground, according to police. Local fire crews deployed a tower ladder truck to bring riders to safety within about 30 minutes. About six children were stuck on the ride, according to the Blackwood Fire Company. Nobody was injured from the mishap, police said. "Throughout the incident, all riders remained calm, and were in good spirits," police said in a news statement.
