James Fisher & Robin Brown, The News Journal:

A blaze that heavily damaged Burton Bros. Hardware Store, a Delaware institution on High Street in Seaford, caused $500,000 damage and sent one injured firefighter to a burn center for treatment, investigators reported today.

Co-owner Ron Marvel, 62, said the firefighter taken to the Crozer-Chester Burn Center in Upland, Pa., was his brother and co-owner Ric Marvel, 58. He said his brother was suffering from smoke inhalation, and went first to Nanticoke hospital, then to Crozer-Chester.

“I drove the first engine in here,” said Ron Marvel. Both brothers belong to the Seaford Volunteer Fire Department, which is just a couple of blocks away from the store.
