Three construction workers were sent to the hospital after a carbon monoxide incident on Main Street in Preston.  Wednesday morning at around 11:15 AM, the Preston Volunteer Fire Company was called to the 200 block of Main Street for a carbon monoxide emergency in the old bank.  Lt. Troy Plutschak said firefighters arrived to find three patients with high readings of carbon monoxide in the building.  The workers had been running gas-powered saws while cutting concrete floors.  The fumes from the saws and the lack of air flow in the building are believed to have contributed to the gas build-up.  All three workers were transported to area hospitals.  There have been no other updates on their conditions. 

A fire broke out early Wednesday morning at the Burger King  in Chester. The manager discovered the fire and called 911.  The fire started on the exterior of the one-story commercial building, and fire crews from the Kent Island Volunteer Fire Department responded and had the fire under control within 10 minutes.  A total of 31 firefighters responded to the single-alarm fire. Damage is estimated at $40,000 to the structure and $5,000 to its contents.  The cause of the fire remains under investigation.  Anyone with information about this fire is asked to contact the Upper Eastern Regional Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal at 410-819-3500. 

The victim of the fatal crash on 301 near Centreville  last weekend has been identified.  It was confirmed yesterday by the Maryland State police that Danielle Urian, of Magnolia, Delaware, was  the driver of the SUV and pronounced dead on the scene.  Police say the SUV was traveling west on Roberts Station Road, when it struck a tractor-trailer at the Route 301 intersection and got pinned underneath, catching fire. The vehicles came to a stop on the shoulder, according to Maryland State Police.  Police believe that speeding may have been a factor in the crash.
