Garden City’s Applebee’s is gone.

Cranston Fire Chief Robert Ryan called it “a total loss.”

Chief Ryan provided photos from the scene outside Applebee’s in Garden City early Wednesday morning.

A wall of brilliant orange flame backlit the Cranston restaurant. Fire investigators are looking at a possible grease fire sparked sometime overnight.

Flames were reported before sun-up.

Ryan said the department “received a box alarm at 5:30 this morning” that the Applebee's had a “fire in the kitchen.” The flames had reached the “ductwork” leading to “heavy  fire above.”

The “ceiling fire had a head start on us,” Chief Ryan said from the scene. The business had closed at 1 a.m. Eventually, he “pulled companies out from anterior attack to defensive attack,” as the structure burned beyond the point of saving.

Ryan reported “no injuries from firefighters” and said the “building is a total loss.”

Luckily for Garden City, the flames didn’t penetrate nearby businesses.

The “fire was contained to Applebee's,” Ryan said.

According to the fire chief, the “firewall (attached to Applebee's) held between structures.”
