Multiple volunteer fire departments responded to a blaze at a popular Nassau County restaurant Thursday night.
The Jericho Fire Department received the call around 9:30 p.m. for an active fire at The Milleridge Inn, which is located at 500 North Broadway in Jericho.
The restaurant will not be open today for regular dining, according to the owner.
The historic inn sustained significant damage, including the bar, an office located above the bar, and a dining area adjacent to the bar.
All fire operations were under the command of Jericho’s Chief Ketsoglou, with assistance from the Westbury, Syosset, Bethpage, Hicksville, Carle Place, Glenwood, Roslyn, Plainview, and Farmingdale departments, as well.
Crews were able to get the flames under control in about an hour, fire officials say.
The fire did not touch the Milleridge Cottage and is not anticipated to cancel weddings scheduled there, says Butch Yamali, owner and President.
“We are incredibly grateful to every firefighter and first responder who came to the Milleridge Inn and fought to save this historic building,” Yamali added.
There were no reported injuries.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office and the Nassau County Police Department Arson/Bomb Squad.
