Salisbury, MD - A residential structure fire completely destroyed a home on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at approximately 7:12 PM on Cloverdale Street in Salisbury, Wicomico County, Maryland.
The Salisbury Fire Department, along with multiple assisting agencies, dispatched 45 brave firefighters to the scene, who managed to bring the situation under control in about one hour.
Unfortunately, the financial impact of this incident is significant. The estimated value of the structure is $100,000, with the contents inside worth approximately $50,000. This loss is deeply felt by the homeowners.
