Delaware House Fire Ruled Arson
Delaware fire officials say arson is the cause of a blaze that caused $250,000 in damage to a Millsboro home.
The fire was reported Tuesday about 1:45 a.m. in the Oak Orchard area. The two-story wood frame home was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters from several departments arrived. A camper and several adjacent homes were also damaged by the blaze. No one was injured.
The blaze began on the outside of the home, which did not have working smoke detectors.
