UPDATE: Tiki bar fire in Rehoboth caused by wire malfunction

Fire officials say an electrical malfunction caused an early morning fire at a bar in the Henlopen Junction Shopping Center, in Rehoboth Beach.

The Delaware State Fire Marshal’s Office says the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company along with help from the Lewes Fire Department, Indian River Fire Company, and Sussex County EMS responded to the blaze just after 1:00 AM on Friday, at a Swell Tiki Bar & Grill on Rehoboth Avenue. The fire was apparently confined to the ceiling and roof of the structure and took firefighters over two hours to extinguish.

No injuries were reported. Investigators say the flames started in the attic of the structure, and was caused by a malfunction in branch circuit wiring. Damages are reportedly estimated at $75,000.
