As engines lined the streets, crews also manned boats, as firefighters maneuvered large hoses pouring water toward the blaze.Todd Olson said the Whaler’s Inn, a boutique hotel, was also evacuated due to the amount of smoke in the air. The Day reported that crowds gathered across the Mystic River to see the fire, and a state fire marshal responded to assist with the investigation into the cause. At least one home was badly damaged.
