On June 28th, 2024 at approximately 09:26 the Rock Hall Volunteer Fire Company and multiple mutual aid agencies were dispatched for a structure fire at 22764 McKinleyville Road. The first arriving unit found an old chicken coop on fire. The fire had extended to involve a nearby 2-story barn. Engine Tanker 7 arrived on scene and quickly started active firefighting operations while Rescue-Engine 6 dropped 500 feet of supply hose up the lane, to establish a water supply for Engine-Tanker 7, Tanker 5, and Rescue-Engine 6.
Engine 6 established a draft site on Langford Bay, near the Rock Hall Yacht Club.
No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire will be investigated by the Maryland State Fire Marshal's office.
