On Thursday afternoon, May 11^th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for vehicle accident involving a single vehicle and reported entrapment on Long Neck Road between Fairfield and Mariner's Cove.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Engine #80-1 from the Long Neck facility as well as Rescue 80 and Utility 80-11 from the Oak Orchard facility.

Emergency response crew assignments were to prepare for vehicle extrication because of reported heavy entrapment, assist with vehicle stabilization, traffic control, and scene preservation. The Delaware State Fire Police were ordered to close Long Neck Road for an undetermined amount of time.

The Delaware State Fire Police coordinated their respective assignments.
