Delaware Candle Fire Causes $40K in Damage at 2 homes
The Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office says two homes suffered $40,000 in damage after someone left a candle unattended.
The office said the fire started Sunday in the bedroom of a home east of Rehoboth Beach. Firefighters from Lewes, Indian River and Rehoboth Beach found heavy smoke when they arrived.
The home where the fire started suffered most of the damage. But the fire marshal says the home next door was damaged because of exposure to heat.
No one was injured.
The Red Cross is helping those displaced by the fire.
