First Due Working Commercial Structure Fire

Friday, January 21, 2022

In the morning hours of the above date, Station 51 was dispatched along with additional mutual aid companies and agencies for a working commercial structure fire in the 2300 block of Sudlersville Road. Engine 51-2 arrived on location as the first due engine and initially reported a single story commercial structure with nothing evident. A 360 was completed and command advised smoke showing from the Charlie side. Interior crews began to open up the attic and found active fire beginning to run the void space. Crews from Hartly, Clayton, Sudlersville, Dover, Ambulance 64, KCEMS, DSFM and DelDOT worked for approximately an hour to bring the fire under control. Chief Read had the command. Special thanks to Station 43 (Cheswold) for providing an engine coverup at Station 51.
