REHOBOTH'S
SANDCASTLE HOTEL
WAS
IT ARSON?
Rehoboth
Beach fire marshal did not rule out the
possibility
of arson in a fire that swept out the Sandcastle Hotel, a
Rehoboth
land mark Friday night.
The
building was in flames, the smoke and heat held back
the
first arrivals at 9:30 pm. The Rehoboth, Lewes, Millville
and
Betheny
Beach fire companies fought the fire until noon the next day.
State
Fire Marshall, Benjamin Roy, Jr., was to order the hotel
to
comply to regulations before it reopened next spring after
finding
a
number of fire hazards during his inspection.
The
hotel was owned by Fred Baker of Rehoboth, Randy Godwin
of
Tower Shores, Jim Short, Nomad Village and Clarence Arnold
of
Kutztown,
Pennsylvania.
