It could take days to determine what caused a massive wind-driven fire along the Mystic River Sunday night.
The fire happened on Washington Street at Seaport Marine and damaged multiple buildings and boats on the property.
Seaport Marine said the fire destroyed several structures and they are thankful for all the first responders for their efforts in containing the blaze. Firefighters from across the southeastern Connecticut region worked to keep the fire from spreading to the other homes and businesses in the area.
"It was so alarming to be that close to the flames and to see part of our community, our neighbors, go up in flames," said Amanda Arling, general manager of The Whaler's Inn. "It was a scary evening." Guests staying at The Whaler's Inn, a boutique hotel down the street from the fire, were evacuated.
