Hospitality Industry Property Risks: Wisconsin Restaurant Fire Caused By “Improperly Stored Ashes”; $20,000 In Damage To Walls And Siding

Restaurant FireAshes that weren’t properly disposed of caught the wood siding on fire this morning, causing around $20,000 in damage.  The building had to be ventilated of smoke.

There’s some cleaning up to do before McGrath’s Fish House in Milwaukie can re-open for business.

A police officer patrolling the parking lot spotted the flames. Firefighters say make sure to put ashes in a non-combustible container of water to cool them before putting in the trash.
