Tonight at 21:27 hours we were alerted for a Working Residential Fire on Quillen Drive on Chincoteague

Upon response units were alerted that the active fire had been doused. Once units were on scene a gas leak was discovered inside the household. The cause of the fire was ignition of a stove which ignited the leak and gas from around the stove. It caused a mild explosion and thankfully was able to be put by a resident out once the leak had been ignited. Units checked for extension, shut off the gas, and held all responding units to just Station 3 personnel.

Thank you to all who responded, be safe out in the heat!
