Fire Breaks Out In Milford Hotel's Dryer

Twenty firefighters responded to the call to put out the blaze.

Crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire, which was confined to the dryer. There was no spread of the fire to the upper levels of the hotel.

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
