An early Monday morning fire has resulted with a popular Tilton restaurant being temporarily closed. The blaze was at Rich’s Family Restaurant, located along Georgetown Road.
Tilton, Westville, Georgetown and Kickapoo volunteer firefighters were among units that responded to the alarm. Firefighters removed some vents on the roof to help reach the area of the flames.
There were no injuries, and a professional cleaning company was already on the scene Monday morning.
A social media post has stated that the fire damage was mostly to the kitchen area, with the rest of the restaurant only sustaining smoke damage. They plan to be up and running again “as soon as possible,” but pass along regrets to those who had planned to join them on Thanksgiving Day.
