Elkton restaurant UnWined destroyed in fire, $1 million estimated in damages

An early-morning fire caused the complete collapse of a two-story restaurant and wine bar in Elkton ‘s Triton Marina area.

A Thursday news release from the Maryland State Fire Marshal reported that a fire at UnWined on the Water, located at 285 Plum Point Road, likely originated “towards the rear of the restaurant, including the rear deck patio” at approximately 1:10 a.m. The release said the fire spread “rapidly through the restaurant” as a result of high winds. Forty firefighters from local departments were dispatched 30 minutes later and brought the fire under control in roughly two hours.

The release deemed the restaurant a total loss, with the collapse of the building’s roof and both stories of internal floors resulting in an estimated $1 million in damage. Deputy state fire mar
