Thursday, December 23, 2021

In the early afternoon hours of the above date, Station 51 and Station 56 (Marydel) were both alerted for a garage fire in the 6200 block of Halltown Road. Prior to units responding, the incident was upgraded which brought in Ladder Company 46 (Dover), Tanker Company 41 (Camden), KCEMS and a coverup provided by Station 45 (Clayton). Engine 51-2 arrived on location, minutes after dispatch and reported a fully involved garage with multiple vehicles on fire and exposure to a nearby residence. Crews deployed hand lines to protect the exposure initially and then made an attack on the fire. As operations were beginning, Kent Center contacted command and advised them that there was a bed bound subject within the residence. Arriving crews made entry to the residence and assisted with the removal of the subject while checking for any extension which none was found. Crews from all agencies worked for approximately an hour to extinguish the fire. The Delaware State Fire Marshall is investigating the fire and Chief Fox had the command.
