SALISBURY, Md. — A fire broke out early Sunday morning at a three-story apartment building on Adams Avenue in Salisbury, Wicomico County, causing minor damage but no injuries, officials said. The incident occurred at approximately 5:12 a.m. in the vestibule outside apartment doors on the second floor of the building, which is owned by Blue Hedge Rental.
