It was reported to be a working alarm. Emergency response units from Indian River included Engine #80-3 from the Long Neck facility and Tanker 80 from the Oak Orchard facility as well as the Delaware State Fire Police. Emergency response crew assignments included to provide assistance to Lewes and Rehoboth Beach crews with ventilation, fire suppression, overhaul, and other tasks as needed. Initial arriving units advised of heavy smoke and fire coming from the residential structure. It appears that the residential occupants were not a home at the time of the initial calls and that the fire impacted the basement and first floor living quarters of the residential structure. It was also reported that the family pets may have perished during the incident.
