BEAR, Del. – Five people, including two children, were hospitalized after a huge fire inside an apartment building in New Castle County.
The scene unfolded on the 1000 block of Woodchuck Place, at the Fox Run Apartments, in Bear Wednesday afternoon. Fire crews took swift action after multiple 911 calls were placed about the fire.
Firefighters arrived to find huge “wind-driven” flames leaping out of apartments of one of the three-story structures at the complex.
Crews quickly called a second alarm as the wind drove the flames into the attic of the building. The fire tore through the roof of the end of one of the buildings while smoke poured out of the entire dwelling.
While searching for victims, firefighters found a semi-conscious dog in a third-floor apartment.
Three adults, two children and two dogs were treated by medics at the scene before being transported to area hospitals for further treatment. There were no details regarding the victims’ identities or what their conditions were.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
