Lincoln Family Faces Devastation After Fire Destroys Property

LINCOLN, Del. – A family in Lincoln is dealing with significant damage to their home, barn, and belongings following a fire on April 28.
The fire, which began in a burn barrel, spread quickly to a 40-by-40-foot barn, two vehicles, and the residence. Several fire companies and emergency services from Kent and Sussex counties responded to the scene. The blaze caused about $300,000 in damage and resulted in one firefighter being transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The homeowner suffered scalp burns during the fire but was able to rescue five of the family’s dogs. Sadly, one dog did not survive. The property, known for its collection of vehicles, statues, mannequins, and other items, largely escaped damage. The American Red Cross is assisting the family, and a GoFundMe campaign has raised nearly $2,000 of its $10,000 goal to support the family’s recovery efforts.
