Livermore Wendy’s To Reopen After Kitchen Fire

LIVERMORE, CA — Wendy’s in Livermore will soon reopen after a kitchen fire inside the fast food restaurant prompted a full evacuation of the building Monday afternoon. The blaze was reported at 1051 Airway Blvd. at about 2:40 p.m.

“Crews took a hose line to the interior and found a cooktop on fire,” fire officials said.

Fire officials said the damage was contained to the cooktop and surrounding areas of the kitchen and some of the smoke spread to the convenience store in the building.

“Once the restaurant is cleaned and inspected by the Alameda County Health department, the restaurant side should reopen,” fire officials said. “The convenience store side and gas station were able to stay open with some slight cleaning.”

Fire officials said cooking and grease fires are very common in commercial and residential kitchens and they urge everyone to have a fire extinguisher easily accessible.

“Fire extinguishers are inexpensive and can put a fire out before it gets too big,” fire officials said.

No one was injured during the blaze.
