The resort is part of Cape Cod Inflatable Park which is located at 518 Route 28 in West Yarmouth.

The fire department was notified of the fire by alarm at 4:07 p.m.

They also received a 911 call reporting smoke from the Christmas Tree Shop Plaza.

Captain Gerard Walsh of the Yarmouth Fire Department said there was smoke coming from the attic when fire crews arrived.

The fire was found inside of a wall between two rooms on the second floor and extended into the attic.

Fire could be seen coming through the roof of the building.

Walsh said the fire was knocked down in about 15 minutes and fire prevention officers, along with the town’s Inspectional Services Department, are investigating.

The fire is believed to be accidental.

The resort was vacant and there were no injuries reported, according to Walsh.

Route 28 in West Yarmouth was closed for a short time and was reopened just before 5 p.m.

Traffic was detoured at Springer Lane and West Yarmouth Road.

Cape Cod Inflatable Park is closed for the season.

Hyannis fire crews assisted on the scene.
