Delaware Greenhouse Fire was Accidental: Investigators

The Delaware State Fire Marshal's office has determined a greenhouse fire in Cheswold was accidental.

The fire marshal's office says the blaze that was reported Saturday afternoon at Broadmeadow Farms involved an active fire inside a greenhouse on the property. The fire was reported about 4 p.m. Saturday. No injuries were reported.

Investigators have found the fire started when a faulty appliance in the greenhouse ignited materials nearby. The greenhouse contained agricultural products that were to be sold.

Damage from the fire is estimated at $10,000.
