Massive Fire Leaves Path Of Destruction In Bear
PHOTOS: Just before 4:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon, a devastating fire broke out in the 1200 block of Porter Road in Bear. The initial reports of an outside fire quickly escalated as firefighters arrived at the scene. What started as a small blaze soon grew into a raging inferno, posing a threat to nearby vehicles. The situation prompted an extensive response from firefighters from across New Castle County. The quick-moving fire rapidly destroyed multiple vehicles, intensifying the efforts of the responding crews. Thick black smoke billowed into the sky and could be seen from miles away. With the situation escalating, Command requested additional water tankers and extra fire apparatus to assist in combating the fire. As the incident unfolded, Porter Road had to be closed in the vicinity of the fire.

New Castle townhouse fire that displaced 11 sparked by bad wiring
Bad electrical wiring is blamed for a fire that heavily damaged a townhouse complex and forced 11 people into emergency shelter in New Castle Friday night. The fire was reported around 6:30 p.pm. on Marlborough Court in the Hampton Green Townhouses, Delaware State Fire Marshal's investigators said. Fire crews from Christiana and several neighboring companies found smoke pouring from the building when they arrived, and after the fire was put out, investigators determined the cause of the fire was faulty above-ceiling wiring in the townhouse where the fire started. 4 units in the complex were affected, and the total amount of the damage is estimated at $120,000.00. No one was hurt, and the Red Cross is sheltering the displaced residents.
