MILLTOWN, DELAWARE (12/21/2014) Fire that swept through a home in the Limestone Gardens neighborhood Saturday night caused more than $100,000 damage, investigators say.

They are still trying to determine how the fire started about 6 p.m. in the home in the 4500 block of Pickwick Drive, said Robert L. Fox, chief deputy state fire marshal.

He said Mill Creek firefighters arrived to find smoke and fire coming from the house. Several other fire companies were called in to assist.

One male occupant had a minor cut on his hand but refused medical treatment, Fox said.

The two residents displaced by the fire are staying with family, he said.
