A massive fire ravaged Nantucket’s historic Veranda House Saturday, severely damaging the downtown bed and breakfast that dates back to the 17th century.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the fire. No injuries were reported, and all occupants were believed to have evacuated the building.

Yarmouth firefighters and others from Cape Cod assisted Nantucket’s fire department with the blaze.

Nearby structures also caught fire, and were evacuated. The fire broke out at 7 a.m., and firefighters were still working on getting the blaze under control at the noon, according to Nantucket police.

Nantucket Deputy Fire Chief Sean Mitchell told the Nantucket Current that the fire was well underway when firefighters first arrived on the scene. Mitchell described the scene as “heavy, heavy fire from the Veranda House” and said responders were holding the blaze to three buildings.

Was “Jane Sent Me!” spray painting on any remaining walls?

Financial mismanagement? potential bankruptcy? or maybe just to destroy evidence of their Democrat Pedo ring that serviced influential members of the community??

I think “bucket” will be a rhyming word here.

Another Covid-related death? People are not able to afford vacations. The hotel was losing serious money. The hotel catches fire. The owner collects from the insurance company.

Built in 1684. It would be sad to lose it.

Had the building recently been found to have evidence against Hillary?

There once was a fire in Nantucket...
That couldn’t be doused with a bucket...
So the pumper whipped out,
A big hose, without doubt...
So big, one had to just truck it!

It was an old building. Maybe faulty wiring? Could be just about anything.
