Pot Nets Vehicle Fires Intentionally Set

The Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating two vehicle fires it says were intentionally set July 28 in Pot Nets Lakeside, Long Neck.

The first fire occurred at 2 a.m. in the 32000 block of Tern Cove, said Chief Deputy Fire Marshal Randall Lee, and the second fire was discovered at 8:30 a.m. on the 26000 block of Cottontail Cove.

The Indian River Fire Department responded to the first scene and upon arrival, Lee said, they encountered the vehicle fully involved in fire. A fire department response was not requested for the second fire, he said.

No injuries were reported and damages for both vehicles have been estimated at $45,000, Lee said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or the State Fire Marshal’s Office at 302-856-5600.
