BOARDMAN, Ohio - A spokesperson for Red Lobster restaurants says health department officials have given them to go-ahead to reopen the Boardman location after a fire.
The blaze broke out at the restaurant on Boardman Poland Road around 2:30 Wednesday morning.
Crews found heavy flames coming from the kitchen but were able to extinguish them quickly.
Officials say it looks like an electrical issue might have caused a portable grill to catch fire and burn plastic trays that were on top of it.
The spokesperson told 21 News that the fire did not cause any structural or long-term damage to the building and they plan to be open for dinner by Wednesday evening.
