Esteban ParraA fire that damaged Miller's Ale House restaurant in Stanton last month was intentionally started, the Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office ruled this week.
No injuries were reported at the time of the Nov. 24 fire, which occurred when the Center Pointe Plaza business was closed.
A security camera showed a person at the restaurant before and during the blaze, which was reported shortly before 5:30 a.m., the State Fire Marshal's Office said Tuesday.
"State fire investigators are conducting a criminal investigation attempting to find those responsible," Assistant State Fire Marshal Michael G. Chionchio said.
Damage to the restaurant, located at 1323 Churchmans Road, was estimated to be about $50,000.
