Just after 9:45, Friday evening firefighters from multiple fire companies responded to the 100 block of Belmont Drive in Wilmington for reports of a structure fire.
While en route crews learned that callers were reporting that a garage was on fire. First arriving crews reported that the garage was fully involved.
As crews work to gain control of the fire Command struck a second alarm which brought additional crews.
We’ll have more regarding the fire when officials release their report.
During the fire, a firefighter outside of the home was found unresponsive and was treated at the scene before being transported by ambulance to CER, according to sources familiar with the incident. A second firefighter was also transported shortly thereafter. Details on the firefighter’s conditions are not known at this time.
We are withholding the identities of the firefighters.
