On August 2, 2023, Christiana Fire Company and mutual aid companies responded to the unit block of Blue Spruce Drive in Bear for a house fire. Companies arrived and found a two-story single-family dwelling with fire from the rear extending from the deck into the roof line and attic space. Engine 12 began suppression efforts while Tower 12 began searches of the building. The fire was extinguished and extensive overhaul was conducted by all units on location. Mutual aid companies included Wilmington Manor, Good Will, Delaware City, Minquas, and Volunteer Hose. The fire was under investigation by the Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office. Assistant Chief B. Pressler had Christiana Command.
