HARRINGTON, DELAWARE (8/24/2015) A poultry building burned northwest of Harrington this morning but all the chickens survived.
The fire broke out shortly before 9 a.m. in the 2600 block of Sugar Stick Road.
Smoke was pouring from the 400- by 50-foot structure when Harrington firefighters arrived, said Michael Chionchio, assistant state fire marshal.
He said deputy fire marshals determined an electrical outlet failed inside the building, igniting the fire. The blaze was ruled accidental.
Damage was estimated at $10,000, Chionchio said.
No injuries were reported.
