Early Sunday morning, rescue teams from the Ellendale Volunteer Fire Company, alongside Sussex County Paramedics, were dispatched to a residence in the 23000 block of Deep Creek Drive within the Jefferson Crossroads Development, near Lincoln, Delaware. The crews responded shortly after 6:50 a.m. following reports of a police action in progress at the location.
Emergency personnel were instructed to stage nearby until the area was secured by police already on scene. Roughly seven minutes after the initial dispatch, an additional ambulance from the Milton Fire Department was called to assist.
Shortly thereafter, Delaware State Police Aviation’s Trooper 2 was requested to respond to the scene. While the helicopter did arrive, it appears that no patients were transported by air.
This is a developing situation, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
