SMYRNA, Del. – Emergency responders from several agencies are working to extinguish a fire that erupted on a barge in Delaware Bay waters.
The vessel, which is loaded with scrap metal for salvage, is currently being guided toward shallow waters near the shoreline. This strategic move will allow the barge to be anchored securely, giving emergency crews better access to battle the flames and conduct recovery efforts.
Officials report that no one has been hurt in the incident so far. The cause of the fire remains under investigation as crews continue their response efforts.
