Fire damaged Scribner’s Restaurant in Milford late Wednesday evening.
The fire alarm at Scribner’s Restaurant, which is located at 31 Village Road in the Woodmont section of the city, went off around 11:13 p.m., then a 911 call reporting smoke from the building was made, according to Milford Fire Rescue.
Firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading into three apartments on the second floor of the building. Officials said alarms went off, alerting the residents, and they were able to get out before emergency crews arrived.
Two adjacent apartment buildings were evacuated as a precaution during the fire and the residents were later allowed back into their homes. Fire officials said most of the building has smoke damage.
The owner of Scribner’s Restaurant said the insurance company will respond to assess the damage.
The Milford fire marshal’s division is investigating the cause of the fire.
