In Wicomico County, first responders were dispatched to an East Isabella Street home in Salisbury shortly after 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14, when an occupant of the residence noticed a fire in a rear bedroom on the first floor.
The Salisbury Fire Department responded to the home, and it took a team of more than two dozen firefighters approximately a half hour to get the flames under control, officials said.
During the fire, one occupant of the home was transported to Tidal Health with non-life-threatening injuries after being rescued, according to the Salisbury Fire Department. A cat was also saved by first responders.
The fire caused an estimated $30,000 ($25,000 to the structure, $5,000 to its contents) in damage.
It is unclear what caused the blaze to break out, which remains under investigation.
