Hotel / Restaurant, Restaurant Erie, PA – Sprinkler system helps keep loading dock fire at restaurant from spreading inside June 18, 2018 viking210 A smoky dumpster fire at Cheddar’s Saturday temporarily closed the Millcreek Township restaurant. Smoke poured out of the loading dock area of the Interchange Road business. A sprinkler extinguished most of the smoke, according to firefighters. Kearsarge and West Ridge firefighters cleared the scene within an hour. Because one sprinkler head went off inside the restaurant, it was closed to clean things up. We’re told no smoke entered the business, and will not have to be inspected by the Health Department. The manager told Erie News Now Cheddar’s expects to reopen Sunday.
