WESTERLY, R.I. (AP) -- A luxury seaside resort in Westerly was evacuated after a small fire.
The Westerly Sun reports that the fire at the Ocean House happened around 8:30 a.m. Friday.
The fire was reportedly in a patio planter box on a balcony. Two fire departments responded and had the fire out by 8:50 a.m.
The original Ocean House was a post-Civil War resort destination for the rich. It closed in 2003 and was razed, then reopened in 2010 as one of the most luxurious resorts in New England.
