Yesterday evening, 3/26, at 5:39 p.m., MVFC was dispatched to the property near the intersection of Jone Rd. and Burbage Rd. for a box alarm initially reported as a residential structure fire. Upon arrival, a fully involved garage structure was found. Fire and EMS crews revised the call to a Commercial Structure Fire. MVFC had three apparatuses with crews on 84-2, 84-4, and R84. Crews worked to extinguish the fire under the OIC Chief Holland from Frankford Vol. Fire Co. Several stations were on the scene, including Frankford Vol. Fire Co, Dagsboro Volunteer Fire Department, Roxana Volunteer Fire Company, and Bethany Beach Volunteer Fire Company.

The scene was supported by Fire police and EMS from MVFC, Bethany Beach, and Roxana, as well as Sussex County Medics M105. One firefighter sustained burn injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital. Firefighters were on the scene for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, and the fire marshal is investigating the scene.
