Personnel responded to the working structure fire at 11:12 p.m. on Wednesday, April 26. The scene was located off Lord Carrington Drive.

The Mathews Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD) also aided in the response and brought a tanker and an engine to help.

Units were on scene for three hours, according to GVFRS.

Because of the size of the fire the Gloucester Volunteer Fire & Rescue Squad requested aid from MVFD. Chief JD Clements told News 3 they're currently low on personnel and are looking for volunteers. If you're interested contact GVFRS.
