At 7:12 p.m. on Thursday, July 19, the Millville Volunteer Fire Company was dispatched along with the Bethany Beach and Roxana Volunteer Fire Companies to a house fire at Quillen’s Point in the 38000 block of Bayberry Court. Within four minutes of the dispatch emergency units were responding to the alarm. When Millville’s Chief Doug Scott arrived at the scene, there was no visible smoke coming from the dwelling. A quick investigation determined there was a small fire located at the rear of the 3-story house in the chimney chase and adjoining soffit area of the roof. The house was occupied at the time of the fire, and the occupants were safely outside.
An investigation by the Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office determined a lightening strike was the cause of the fire. Damage was estimated at approximately $25,000. The house was equipped with working smoke detectors. This was the fourth fire in Delaware this week sparked by lightning.
