CAMBRIDGE – A two-alarm fire severely damaged a home Friday, leaving two firefighters injured, one needing treatment at a hospital.

Just after 6 p.m., Rescue Fire Company (RFC) was alerted for a house fire at 1003 Travers St. Dispatch advised responding units that they had received numerous calls stating that flames and smoke were visible from the house.

Chief 1 then relayed that a member was on scene with a working fire at the rear of the house. At that time, the call was upgraded to a second alarm.

Chief 1 arrived on scene and established command. Engine 1-3 arrived and began pulling handlines to the rear of the house, where fire was visible.

Crews extinguished most of the fire, then Tower 1-1 arrived. Their crew began a search for victims.

The fire had spread to the main portion of the house, with some additional fire being found on all three floors towards the back side of the structure. The mutual aid departments assisted with obtaining an additional water source, assisting with fire attack, and extensive overhaul.

The primary and secondary searches were negative, meaning no victims were located.

During the incident, two firefighters were evaluated for injuries. One of them was treated on scene, the other was transported to TidalHealth in Salisbury with non-life threatening injuries.

In addition to Chief 1, Engine 1-3, and Tower 1-1 other units on scene from RFC were Chief 1-1, Engine 1-2, and Brush 1-1. Mutual aid departments from Trappe, Linkwood, Church Creek, Madison, Neck District, East New Market, Hurlock, Eldorado, Oxford, Mardela, Easton, St. Michaels, Secretary, and Sharptown were alerted to assist.

“We would like to thank the mutual aid companies for their support and hard work during this incident,” a statement from RFC said on Sunday.
