Fire investigators say a blaze at a two-story building in Rehoboth Beach caused $180,000 in damage.
The fire occurred Wednesday in the 4000 block of Coastal Highway at a building with a medical office on the first floor and an apartment upstairs.
No injuries were reported.
Investigators say the fire started in the second floor bedroom and was caused by an unattended candle too close to combustible materials.
