Upper Deck in ruins.
Sign proclaims "We'll be back"

The Upper Deck sports bar was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning.

At around 4:45 AM, Mary was awoken by a large explosion. She was not sure if she was dreaming, but she did get out of bed. When she looked out the window to the back of our property, she thought that she saw a full moon. Except it was pouring buckets outside. Upon closer inspection, she realized that a very aggressive fire was in the process of consuming the Upper Deck Sports Bar, which was located less than 100 yards from the back of our property. Burning embers were intermixed with the downpour, and raining down in the forest behind our building. The good news at the time was that the fire department was onsite, and the rain prevented any secondary fires from being started. The bad news is that when we went to see the result during the day, the building was totally consumed. A total loss.

We have not picked up any rumors around town as to the cause, however, as if in defiance to the fire, the note "We'll be back" was posted on the Upper Deck's sign on the Killington road.
