Delaware State Fire Marshal investigators are examining the cause of a blaze that erupted at a chicken house facility in Harrington earlier this week.
Emergency crews were dispatched to the 300 block of Hayfield Road on April 15, 2026, shortly after 3:00 PM following reports of a fire at the poultry operation. The Harrington Fire Company responded to the scene alongside several mutual aid departments from neighboring areas.
Upon arrival, firefighters encountered the chicken house engulfed in flames. The Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office has taken over the investigation to determine what sparked the fire.
