SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) -A kitchen fire at Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen at Primrose and Glenstone will cause the restaurant to close Friday in order to do a health inspection.
Fire crews responded to the restaurant around 12:30 a.m. Friday.
Crews originally thought it was an HVAC unit fire on the roof, but Battalion Chief Brian Athen says kitchen items are what started the fire.
“It did not get into the structural members at all,” said Athen. “So we’ve kept it contained into just say appliances and things like that in there.”
The manager of the restaurant says they will not open on Friday but hope to reopen on Saturday.
