DOVER, Vt. (AP) - An early morning fire has destroyed a diner in the southern Vermont town of Dover during one of the biggest snowstorms of the winter.

The fire was reported at Betsey’s Dot’s of Dover just before 1 a.m. on Sunday. No one was in the building at the time.

The assistant fire chief told the Bennington Banner that the cause has not been determined.



He said the weather conditions and lack of personnel at the scene in the beginning posed challenges.

The restaurant’s website says the diner is owned by Betsey Reagan, who relocated to the Deerfield Valley from Long Island in 1986.
