Late Saturday, firefighters from Mar-Mac, Throughfare and Arrington responded to a possible structure fire on the 100 block of Five Points Road located behind the McDonald’s in Mar-Mac. A passerby reported smoke coming from a barber shop in a strip mall. Firefighters immediately started to evacuate people from the bingo building that was next door the barber shop. Deputies from the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office arrived and positioned their vehicles to close off that section of Five Points Road due to the fire hose in the roadway. Paramedics from Station 8 set up to assist firefighters on the scene. Firefighters made quick entries through the front of the structure, located the source of the fire and quickly brought it under control. The Office of Emergency Services was called in to assist in determining the cause of the fire. No injuries were reported, and firefighters remained on the scene until after midnight.
