On Thursday, June 13, 2024, 3 different Gardner MA restaurants had 3 very different issues.
McDonald’s had to close for a time due to a malfunctioning fire suppression system. It reopened after the system was refilled. Burger King was closed for a time for renovations. It reopened. Friendly’s had a small fire due to a cigarette which was carelessly disposed of outside, rolled under siding and caused a slow, smoldering fire in the wall of a bathroom. Fire was put out by the GFD. Friendly’s reopened.
