Just days after a deadly fire in Milton, a man was found dead in a Millsboro area fire early Tuesday morning.
Two trailers less than a mile apart went up in flames in Millsboro, the latter on Harmons Hill Road turning deadly. Investigators said a woman escaped the fire but a man did not make it out.
"Unfortunately the person inside was deceased," says Assistant State Fire Marshal Michael Chionchio. "The fire company was able to quickly put the fire out and recover his body,"
The Harmons Hill Road fire was reported around 4:30 am on January 29th, 2019. Just hours before, another trailer was engulfed in flames less than a mile away on Hollyville Road. That fire was reported just before 11 pm.
Neighbor Elizabeth Turner recalled the fire's ferocity.
"The fire was coming out from the top and bottom," she says.
Unlike the Harmons Hill fire, everyone made it out safely on Hollyville Road.
