Nature: Dumpster Fire

Location: 20628 Long Beach Dr Millsboro, DE 19966

On Sunday afternoon, June 19th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a dumpster fire on Long Beach Drive at the Resort at Massey’s Landing. It was reported to be fully involved.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Tanker 80 from the Oak Orchard and Engine #80-3 from the Long Neck facility as well as the Delaware State Fire Police.

Emergency response crew assignments included fire suppression and evaluation based upon the knowledge that the dumpster was full of construction materials, trees, wood, and other debris from campsites.

It appears that improper disposal of camp fire materials may have been the source of the fire.
