$2.5 Million Damage Caused by Fire at Cheesecake Factory


On February 1, 2013, at 3:32 A.M. a fire broke out in the kitchen area of the Cheesecake Factory on Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki. A total of forty firefighters from eight fire companies responded to the blaze and had it under control by 4:45 a.m. and completely extinguished by 5:30 a.m. Fire Captain Terry Seelig state that the fire was caused by a gas leak to the fryer in the kitchen that was ignited by the pilot light. No one was hurt in the blaze, but the damage will cost an estimated $2.5 million to repair. No word as to when the Cheesecake Factory will reopen.
