The wildfire started before 8 a.m. EDT on the 24th. It took more than 200 firefighters (from as far away as Talbot and Anne Arundel Counties) to control the wildfire which occurred on Monday the 25th. The wildfire was contained by bulldozing ditches around it. The wildfire though smoldered in spots for a few more weeks. The wildfire started near Romancoke Road, Kent Point Road and Wicomico Roads southeast of the Kent Island Estates and was believed caused by discarded flammable material near a marijuana patch. The wildfire was described as one of the largest in Queen Annes County in recent memory, forced the evacuation of between 20 and 30 homes on the 24th. No houses were damaged. One firefighter was treated for heat-related illness.
