Emergency response units from Indian River included Tower 80 from the Oak Orchard facility and Engine 80 and Command 80 from the Long Neck facility as well as the Delaware State Fire Police.

Emergency response crew assignments included an initial exterior evaluation as well as an interior evaluation before identifing a faulty detector activation.
