Nature: Structure Fire

Location: 35542 Knoll Way Mariners Cove, DE 19966

On Wednesday, September 4th, the Indian River (80), Lewes (82) and Millsboro (83) fire companies were alerted for a residential structure fire on Knoll Way in the Mariner’s Cove development off Long Neck Road.  It was reported that an oxygen hose caught fire inside the residential structure.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Tanker 80 from the Long Neck facility and Rescue 80 from the Oak Orchard facility.  Additional emergency alerts included the Sussex County Paramedics and the Mid Sussex Rescue Squad.

Emergency response crew initially accessed the structure and extricated the residential occupant and reported a smoke condition but no active fire inside the structure. Efforts were coordinated the eradicate the smoke and to limit the emergency response to Indian River units only.

It appears that a medical supply oxygen tube caught fire inside the residential structure creating a smoke condition.
