On April 24, 2007, a commercial structure fire was called in at 1316
hours by an individual riding by the scene on a bike on Mercer's Fernery
Road in DeLand. When Engine 46 arrived, the structure was fully involved
in flames. Units from DeLand Fire Rescue and VCFS Stations 35, 41, 42
and 45 responded to the scene. The fire destroyed an old fernery packing
house and was ruled an electrical fire by the state fire marshal's
office.
