Toronto Fire Service is cleaning up at Detroit Eatery, 389 Danforth Ave. at Chester Ave. Tuesday after a four-alarm fire hit the small all-day breakfast restaurant. Danforth Ave has been re-opened shortly after 1 p.m. The fire was noticed at after 6.49 a.m. There do not appear to be any injuries. The CBC says that the Children’s Circle of St. Barnabas, a daycare located near the fire, had been closed because of smoke. Parents whose children attend the daycare have been told that the air quality would have to be checked before the daycare was deemed safe for children to return. Becker’s Bridal and another adjacent business also sustained smoke and water damage. Fire authorities said the fire appears accidental.
If you’ve visited me in Toronto, there’s a 100% chance I took you to @DetroitEatery. It’s impossible to categorize. The people – from all walks of life in parallel universes – are what makes Detroit so special. The Danforth will rally to support Chris in a mind-blowing way. pic.twitter.com/2qvPWHxf5W
