Firefighters from multiple agencies responded to a residential structure fire in the 800 block of Lowell Drive on Tuesday morning. The fire, reported at approximately 8:23 AM, brought a response of New Castle County Paramedics, Delaware City Fire Company, and several surrounding fire companies.
Upon arrival, fire crews encountered a single-family home with active fire conditions. Firefighters initiated interior operations to suppress the fire and conduct a search for potential occupants. No residents were reported to be inside the home at the time of the incident, and there were no civilian injuries.
