In the latest of a series of reported unexploded military ordnances found on Assateague Island, another was located on January 22, according to the Worcester County Fire Marshal's Office. The National Park Service at Assateague Island National Seashore say the ordnance was found on the north beach area of the seashore.

The Fire Marshal's Office says shortly after 9:30 p.m. on November 15, the Laurel Fire Department and other assisting mutual aid fire companies arrived on scene in the 32000 block of Sussex Highway. There they found a single family home with fire and smoke showing. The home was occupied at the time of the fire, but firefighters were able to enter the home and remove an unresponsive man. Firefighters and EMS immediately began performing life saving measures before transporting the man to an area hospital. He is currently in critical condition.
