Millsboro Fire House Training

MILLSBORO, DE - The Millsboro Fire Company is alerting neighbors to a training exercise set for tomorrow at a house off John J WIlliams Highway.

The Fire Company says training is slated for 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 27th, at a house near the Mountaire Chicken Plant near Millsboro. 

Heavy smoke is expected in the area during training and there will be traffic restrictions in the vicinity, according to the Fire Company.
