Motorists passing through have been asked to find alternative routes. According to The Journal, “Lanes are clear but a portion of the footpath remains closed to pedestrians.”
This is the second fire to occur this week. Drop Dead Twice on Francis Street also experienced a fire, eventually setting up a GoFundMe page to help pay for the damage.
There’s been no word yet on what caused the fire within Eddie Rockets.
