Early Monday morning, October 13th, the Indian River (80) and Lewes (82) fire departments were alerted to assist Rehoboth Beach (86) with a working structure on Pine Road. It was reported to be loud explosion and neighbors could see fire outside of the residential structure.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Tanker #80-4 from the Oak Orchard facility and Engine #80-3 from the Long Neck facility.

Rehoboth Beach updated the incident location as being on Camp Arrowhead Road and their Duty Officer requested that the first arriving engine initiate a 1¾” lines to start the fire suppression efforts. Engine #80-3 coordinated this task as the first arriving unit. Additional units utilize other 1¾” fire suppression lines off of Engine #80-3 to combat the incident.
