Yannis on Fire

[Kurt]

Yep - it was an interior fire with little evidence outside except some soffit and fascia missing. It looked like all the Yianni's equipment was still in the building.

The businesses in the same building are open today.

Apparently it was started by the sign on the front of the building. Nothing suspicious.

That is so sad. As if they didn't have enough that they were going through.

I drove around there today and noticed the sign (intact with no burn marks) at the back of the storage buildings in the back but did notice a large pile of concrete and tiles behind the place. Not sure if that was removed for drainage or what. But both back doors were standing open and there was still the smell of smoke around there.

I trust that my source isn't steering me wrong. ;-)

Does anyone know if the fire department is going to conduct an investigation?

I believe an investigation is standard for insurance/liability reasons.

Don't understand how Yianni's caught on fire - I had eaten there several times - usually it's the ones I haven't eaten at that burn.

My understanding is that it is already done. There was an electrical problem with the sign and it caught fire. Generally the fire marshal can complete an investigation pretty quickly if there's no foul play. Accidents are easy to prove, arson takes forever.

Yanni would take all of you in like family, so there's no harm in your speculations as you see it.
NOW GO HOME/STAY HOME....(in the words of Mr. G himself.)
