Additional Information On the above date and time, I was requested to respond to the above location by the Dagsboro Fire Department in reference to a tire shop fire. I arrived and spoke with Fire Department members about the fire. When the fire was out, I walked around the property and located a small ditch behind the southern parking lot that looked to have oil residue floating on the water from the extinguishing efforts. I put absorbent pads in the water and was able to collect a small amount of oil from the water. OSC Matt Chamberlain arrived and assessed the property. A propane take was found to be venting, which was shut off by Suburban Propane. There was also a small amount of antifreeze in in a bucket towards the rear of the property. Stay dry was placed around the bucket of antifreeze in the event the bucket leaked.
