SALISBURY, MD – A dumpster fire at Your Doc’s In medical office on North Salisbury Boulevard was deliberately ignited, authorities confirmed.

The Salisbury Fire Department responded to the incident, controlling the blaze within three minutes.

The fire, which caused an estimated $800 damage to the commercial dumpster owned by Republic Services, was discovered by a passerby. Initially, the Office of the State Fire Marshal was not informed due to uncertainty regarding the dumpster’s ownership. However, after reviewing security footage, the Director of Your Doc’s In identified two unknown juvenile females starting the fire. The Salisbury Police Department, informed on December 4th, has since involved the State Fire Marshal.


No injuries were reported, and no arrests have been made. The public is urged to contact Deputy State Fire Marshals at 410-713-3780 with any relevant information.
