Just prior to the 3 o'clock hour, Sussex County EOC alerted Ellendale (75) for a outside fire in the area of North Old State Rd. & Haflinger Rd. Ellendale units were just clearing another alarm and responded immediately. Just at Ellendale units were observing a header of smoke from the area, Sussex advised them they were taking several calls for the fire, and that Milton (85) had advised they had an engine crew in quarters. Asst. Chief Foster (75-16) immediately requested a response from Milton, plus a brush piece and tanker from Carlisle (42). As 75 units arrived, they found a large field on fire extending to a hedge row and an additional field. Multiple other resources were requested by Command. Milton responded with an Engine, Tanker, and Brush unit and assisted where needed on the fire scene. Additional crews in Milton responded to a gas leak on Palmer St. as well. Milton Units Responding, Engine 4, Tanker 85, Brush 85-00.
