HOT CHOCOLATE SPARROW

With the love of chocolate and a loan, we started The Chocolate Sparrow, a simple candy shop, in 1989 in North Eastham. Gradually we learned the art of making fine chocolate and the business of selling it. In 1991 we opened a summer shop in Wellfleet. Two years later in Orleans, we opened The Hot Chocolate Sparrow, a cafe complete with coffee from around the world, desserts of every indulgence, and our own hand-dipped chocolates. Here we could offer specialty coffee drinks in a sophisticated but welcoming atmosphere. We have grown into a local institution, open early morning to late night, every day of the year except Christmas. We created a place where people can connect. Our cafe is recognized Cape-wide, our chocolate is sent all over the country, and our coffee, desserts, and fudge have been voted #1 numerous times in various local surveys. No wonder we are recognized as "The Best on the Lower Cape."

According to a Harwich FD media statement, at 3:15 Monday afternoon a Barnstable County Sheriff's Officer received a 911 call from a resident on Teaberry Avenue reporting heavy black smoke, flames and an explosion at a house on Fernwood Circle. A first alarm assignment was dispatched for Harwich, with Automatic Aid from Dennis, Brewster and Chatham. The Harwich FD media statement continues as follows: ?An off-duty Fire Lieutenant was first to arrive and reported heavy smoke and fire in the rear of a one-story wood frame house, extending to the interior. The first arriving company advanced a hoseline to the interior of the structure quickly knocking down the fire that had extended inside, while a second hoseline was stretched to the rear of the structure to attack the exterior fire.? The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire. Fire reportedly extended into the attic, first floor and basement.
