On Friday, February 14^th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a residential structure fire on South Captains Way in the Captains Grant development off Oak Orchard Road.  Additional emergency alerts included the Mid Sussex Rescue Squad.  It was reported to be an electrical issue inside the residence and the respective lights attached to the circuit are now blinking.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Tanker 80 and Rescue 80 from the Oak Orchard facility and Engine 80 from the Long Neck facility as well as the Delaware State Fire Police.

Emergency response crew assignments included an exterior evaluation and size up the structure with location of utilities, discussion with the homeowners as well as an interior evaluation of the structure and respective issue.

It appears that the occupant was attempting to unplug a cord from the electrical socket which caused a spark and the lights began blinking thereafter.  The occupant desired an evaluation.

All units were allowed to return to their respective quarters.
