Police closed off Bridge Street and Wood Street. They put up a roadblock for hours. The fire started at Bare Grills restaurant. It spread to Bridge Street Dental Practice next door.
Firefighters evacuated residents from nearby apartments. Thankfully, no one got hurt in the blaze. The fire spread to the neighboring dental center. Officials taped off three buildings after they put out the fire. An investigator said the fire was an accident.
Bare Grills reopened six months after the incident. It is located at 45 Bridge Street. They announced this on social media. They had some issues along the way, but they managed to resolve them.
The dental practice planned to reopen on Bridge Street too. Staff members worked there for over twenty years. The dental center moved to Wellington after the fire. This change affected their customers.
