This is disturbing news...

Quote
Middletown – Firefighters from the Volunteer Hose Company of Middletown, along with crews from across New Castle County as well as Cecil County Maryland are responding to the 1200 block [of] Choptank Road for a structure fire.
Responding crews were told that a garage was on fire while en route.
Upon arrival, crews reported that the fire had extended to the home. (edited to note correction below)
As crews worked to bring the fire under control, ammunition inside the home began exploding.
Command has ordered all firefighters to stay out of the home. A defensive fight has been ordered.

According to three Facebook commenters, it IS Chris' house. Unconfirmed, of course.

Correction: an earlier report that the fire had extended to the home was incorrect.

My (second-hand) source on the DSP says it's just the garage.

Hello to all. I have been on this site for a while and have decided create a user account.

I reached out to Chris via e-mail, he and the family are OK no one hurt. This is good news!
Chris is a good guy and he has a great family. Keep them in your thoughts.
Thank you.

Thank you all.. appreciate the contact and concern...we had a devastating fire...thank God no one was hurt....entire garage,3 cars and rear of the house burned....we were able to get it boarded up thanks to great friends and family....none of the firearms or business was affected...we did not close and are still rolling....it will be a long road to replace 40 years of lost property but we will...We won't quit too many rely on us....

Want to thank everyone for reaching out and checking on us...was overwhelming trying to get back to everyone.....Our family and I thank you for your support.....I thank all first responders for saving our house..would like to thank all of delaware's law enforcement community for their support during our difficult times.....God Bless you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

 We are glad to hear you and your family are okay. I'm sure the business will continue to prosper.
