The fire department said it received a call around 6:30 p.m. Sunday from a passerby reporting a structure fire on Route 6A at the former Anthony's Cummaquid Inn, which has been closed for several years. When firefighters arrived at the scene they saw heavy flames from Route 6A and called in fire crews from several neighboring communities.
The fire had advanced quickly through the structure and was threatening other buildings on the property, along with brush near the original building. Even more fire crews were called in to help keep the fire from spreading.
