Early Wednesday morning, May 14th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company was alerted multiple times for an automatic fire alarm with audible alarms around the multi-residential structure with an additional concern with an electrical outrage.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Tanker 80 from the Oak Orchard facility as well as Engine 80-1 from the Long Neck facility.  Additionally, the Delaware State Fire Police responded to assist.

Emergency response crew assignments included incident mitigation efforts, notification of the complex maintenance personnel, exterior evaluation of the facility before making access for an interior evaluation.  Additional resources from the Delaware Electric Cooperative and respective maintenance personnel were requested to the incident location.

The rationale for the alarm sounding has been undetermined and the facility maintenance personnel and complex management have been notified of the operational concerns with the building system and to perform mitigation repairs. 

All emergency fire response units were authorized to return and respond to additional emergency incidents in the area.
