The aftermath

By 6:40 p.m. today, the fire that started in the kitchen of Steve's Lunch had destroyed the building. Firefighters at the scene cited a grease fire that got out of control.

Multiple alarms brought dozens of firefighters to the site shortly after 5:30 p.m. The fire grew massive — and quite quickly, too.

Based on conversations with people standing by on Lorain Avenue, there were no injuries. The fire department has not yet addressed the situation publicly.

***
March 18 update: The building was demolished late last night.
