Fire Damage Re-Construction by Apex Construction
LEWES — The fire marshal’s office is investigating a fire that damaged the Red Mill Inn at 16218 Coastal Highway north of Lewes on Thursday night.
Fire crews from Lewes, Milton, Rehoboth Beach, Slaughter Beach, Indian River and Bethany Beach responded to the fire at about 10:45 p.m., according to reports from the scene.
Upon arrival they found smoke and fire coming from the roof of the center structure of the three-building complex, officials said.
The motel’s fire alarm system was activated and alerted occupants of two rooms of the affected building. Those victims have been moved to one of the other unaffected buildings.
No injuries were reported. Damages have been estimated at $250,000, the fire marshal’s office said.
An investigation revealed that the fire originated in the ceiling. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, officials said.
