Nature: Vehicle Fire

Location: Hollymount Rd and Harbeson Rd, Harbeson, DE 19951

 

On Sunday morning, April 12, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a vehicle fire at the intersection of Hollymount Road and Harbeson Road.  It was reported to be a fire in the engine compartment.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Tanker 80 from the Oak Orchard facility and Engines #80-1 and 80-3 from the Long Neck facility as well as the Delaware State Fire Police.

Emergency response crew assignments included incident mitigation activities with fire suppression and traffic control.  Firefighters stretched an 1¾” fire suppression attack line to extinguish the fire. Tanker provided additional manpower and water supply, if needed, and Engine 80-1 was returned while responding.

It appears that a red Volkswagen sedan was traveling north on Harbeson Road just passed the intersection with Hollymount Road when the vehicle caught fire.  The occupants of the vehicle were out of the car.  The responding Delaware State Fire Police reported that the vehicle was fully involved.

The Delaware State Fire Police provided traffic control with the closure of this segment of roadway during the incident. 

The Delaware State Police are investigating.
