PF&R Responds To A Commercial Fire At The Lloyd District Red Robin Restaurant (Photo)
- 01/18/26
Early this morning, PF&R Station 13 responded to a reported fire at the Red Robin restaurant located on NE Grand Avenue in the Lloyd District. On arrival, crews found an exterior fire burning against the south wall of the building near the Denny’s parking lot. A cleaning crew on scene advised firefighters that the fire had extended to the interior of the building.
Crews made entry and confirmed fire extension inside the wall space, prompting the incident commander to upgrade the response to a full first-alarm (box) assignment.
Firefighters quickly opened the affected wall and extinguished the fire before it could spread further. Early notification by the cleaning crew and the rapid actions of responding companies prevented the fire from extending upward into the concealed attic/cockloft space above the sprinkler system. Extension into that area would have resulted in a major fire impacting the entire building.
Thanks to the quick call to 911 and coordinated firefighting efforts, crews were able to contain the fire and prevent more significant damage. No injuries were reported due to this fire. The building fire started due to a warming fire in a houseless camp.
PF&R asks the public to use safe means to stay warm as our temperatures drop. In this case a building was damaged, but we often see injuries associated with unsafe heating methods.
-Keep outside fires contained in a metal container, only burn clean firewood when allowed and make sure they are at least 15' from a structure.
-Don't use stoves or other makeshift aids for heat. This can lead to fire, injury or CO poinsoning.
-Keep an eye on neighbors especially the elderly as they can be more vulnerable to changing conditions.
