Engine #80-1 was assigned to coordinate an initial fire suppression attack for the vehicle and advance a second fire suppression line to mitigate the exposure concern with the residential structure. Engine #80-3 was assigned to coordinate water resources for Engine #80-1 and assist with fire suppression and exposure protection assignments while Rescue 80 coordinated the air supply replenishment functions.  An additional task to utilize the Hurst tool to gain access to the engine compartment was required to fully extinguish the incident.

There was no firefighter or residential occupant injuries.

The Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.

The residential structure did sustain damage due to the excessive heat.
