Structure Fire in the Beach Club neighborhood in Ocean View

May 03, 2025

This afternoon, on March 5, 2025, at 5:08 p.m., the Millville Volunteer Fire Company was dispatched to a box alarm for a reported structure fire on Scarborough Lane in Ocean View, within the Beach Club neighborhood. Engine 84-2, the first engine on the scene, found the structure fully involved in flames. The incident was commanded by Chief Scott of the Millville Volunteer Fire Company. The Bethany Beach Volunteer Fire Company (Tower 70) conducted a primary search and confirmed that no one was inside the building. Given the extent of the fire, which was complicated by fireworks stored in the garage and high winds, a defensive fire suppression strategy was employed. Firefighters focused on protecting the homes on both the left and right sides of the structure. Several loud explosions were heard, which were attributed to the fireworks in the garage. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the Delaware State Fire Marshal.
(88), Roxana Volunteer Fire Company (90), and the Ocean City Fire Department each with various assignments. Sussex County Medics were on scene as well as EMT units from 82, 84, to provide rehab and medical support. As always the Fire Police were deployed around the area to keep the scene safe.
