Milleridge Inn fire update: What happened at North Broadway, Jericho? Historic spot in flames again after 2014 closure
A fire was reported at Milleridge Inn in Jericho, New York, as per scanner reports, reminding those of the 2014 blaze which led to the historic spot's closure.
On August 20, a fire broke out at the historic Milleridge Inn, located at 585 North Broadway in Jericho, New York. The catering venue, which has a history dating back to 1672, is currently in flames. Reports indicate that the blaze started on the #1 exposure of the building. While there has been no official statement from the fire department regarding the cause of the fire, reactions on local social media platforms have been concerning.
Some residents expressed relief that the fire did not spread beyond the building, while others voiced their hope that the historic site would not suffer extensive damage.

The current fire has sparked memories of that incident, with locals hoping that the latest blaze will not result in significant loss.
