Upon arrival of Engine #80-1, it was identified that an abandoned vehicle was on fire and fully burned beyond recognition. Engine #80-1 deployed a 1¾” fire suppression attack line to mitigate the incident. It appears that the vehicle was a Lincoln SUV product and was abandoned on the shoulder of the roadway. The origin of the fire is being evaluated. The Delaware State Police were on-scene and investigating. The Office of the State Fire Marshal was notified of the incident to conduct an investigation as well. There were no firefighter injuries.
