Other units from Girdletree, Stockton, Pocomoke, Berlin, Newark, Greenbackville, and Atlantic Fire Departments all responded to the scene for assistance or to Snow Hill Firehouse or Stocktons Fire House for standby. 

It took approximately 1.5 hours to get under control and no injuries were reported by civilian or fire members. Approximately 25 acres of brush fire were extinguished. Pictures courtesy of FF/EMT Chief Creech, FF/PM Denston, FF/PM Smith, and FF/EMT Lt Downes.
