MILLSBORO, Del. - Multiple fire departments in Sussex County were dispatched to a major house fire early Sunday morning in Millsboro.
The Indian River Volunteer Fire Company says they were called to provide a stand-by assignment for the Millsboro Fire Company on Dec. 14 just after 5:30 a.m. as Millsboro firefighters worked to control the house fire on Spencer Ct.
Firefighters from Dagsboro and Georgetown also joined the effort, according to Indian River.
On Monday, Nicola Pizza in Lewes announced the home belonged to a 25-year employee at the restaurant and the man had "lost everything." The employee and everyone else in the home was able to escape and are safe, Nicola Pizza's social media post reads.
"We are doing all we can to help him and we know that our loyal patrons will join us if called upon," the Facebook post says. "Stay tuned for ways that you can help as we learn more in the next few days."
It is currently unclear what caused the fire. WBOC has reached out to the Millsboro Fire Company for more information and will update this article as it becomes available.
