A Milleridge Inn fire was reported on August 20 at 585 North Broadway in Jericho. Scanner reports pointed to a blaze at the historic site, and online posts described a building fire at the Long Island catering venue.
The inn dates to 1672 and now includes a 1,000-seat restaurant and the Shops at Milleridge Village. That makes any fire report there a live operational issue, not just a routine emergency call.
Bruce Davis and the 2014 fire
Bruce Davis, the manager, said in 2014 that the earlier fire likely started after a pan was left on the stove. CBS News reported him saying, “Everything was directed into the kitchen, so nothing of our 1672-built house fell down. All our banquet rooms are all intact,” after the kitchen fire destroyed the restaurant at night and forced it to close.
That earlier fire also left a clear benchmark for what readers need to watch now: whether the August 20 blaze stayed inside one part of the property or spread beyond it. The source does not provide a damage assessment for the new fire, so the practical question for customers and nearby residents is whether the building remained usable after the reported incident.
Jericho FD and online reports
On the Long Island subreddit, one person wrote, “There is currently a fire at the Milleradge inn. I'm listening to “Nassau County Fire - Battalion 7”.” A Facebook group post on Long Island fires called it “Jericho (Nassau) - Building Fire. Milldridge Inn 585 N. Broadway,” while another post on X said, “Signal 10 Jericho FD. Milleridge inn, fire on #1 exposure.” That same X post described the incident as a commercial fire.
The source says no official statement from Jericho FD could be found about the August 20 blaze, and the cause was not known. One Reddit user wrote, “All visible fire knocked down at 1006PM,” but the source did not verify that update, leaving the safest reading as a reported fire with no official public explanation yet.
For people tied to the Milleridge Inn, the immediate question is simple: whether the August 20 fire reached the restaurant, banquet rooms, or another part of the property. Until an official damage assessment appears, the most concrete fact is that the historic venue was again dealing with fire after a 2014 kitchen blaze.
