Ocean city, Bethany beach, roxanna fire companies on scene. harpoon hannas, 142nd st. in Ocean City. Commercial building fire, heavy smoke showing from the roof.
I saw a fire truck going way to fast in the traffic on 54. It's a two lane highway and the idiot was going way to fast and he would never been able to stop if someone crossed at any intersection. Traffic was way to heavy for him to go that fast. It was Roxanna fire truck and could have easily killed someone.
This wasn't much of a fire thank goodness for Frank Hanna and all of the employees at the restaurant. And do you think a restaurant owner would set a fire in the middle of the day during the peak of the tourist season. Agreed, I don't remember Harpoon Hanna's having a fire before. But there was a pretty bad one across the street at Catch 54 four years ago during the summer.
That is a highly lucrative business, owned by a nice family. The business has been there for over 30 years and has employeed many of my friends. They have probably paid for property 50 times over. They stay busy all summer long, and would never intentionally set fire to it.
It's just because renovation/rebuild/quick sales of property in OC is very often funded through arson. Doesn't seem logical that it would be the case here, but I promise, there is a long history of this in OC.
Another fire?! How many times this place going to burn?
ReplyDeleteanother insurance scam
ReplyDeleteThis is how to finance major renovation!
ReplyDeleteProbably a cigarette
ReplyDeleteI thought they always scheduled their fires in the off-season.
ReplyDeleteHenry know's how to light up a joint, he learned from Goodfellas.
ReplyDeleteremodeling time again....
ReplyDeleteWhy do people wish ill/bad luck or assume criminal intent on others that have worked hard to build a business?
ReplyDeleteNever heard of a fire there before. At Irish eyes every couple years...still sad no matter what you all think
ReplyDeleteThis is new to me; is this a common occurrence, or just an accident?

The people commenting on this story are bored and hate-filled. Success breeds jealousy. Go home trolls.

DeleteDon't remember a fire there. That place is a money pit. Don't think it was intentional ! They make a killing there 7 days a week.
