From The News-Journal’s Damian Giletto:
Several fire companies from Kent and Sussex counties are battling a three-alarm fire this morning in Milford, said an official with the Kent County fire board.
Crews were called to the Hampton Inn currently under construction on Carpenter Pits Road, off Del. 1 near Tenth Street, at about 5:30 a.m, an official said.
Firefighters reported running low on water just after 7:30 a.m. from Milford’s supply and were drawing water from Tub Mill Pond to refill tanker trucks.
Fire companies on the scene include Milford, Frederica, Harrington, Houston, Ellendale, Lewes and Slaughter Beach, an official said.
DelDOT reports the right southbound lane of Del. 1 (Bay Road) is closed at Tub Mill Pond Road, and the DelDOT traffic cam at Thompsonville Road showed all southbound traffic narrowed to one lane and moving slowly at 9:40 a.m.
