VIDEO: An early-morning fire forced a popular Fremont sports bar to close just days before the Super Bowl, leaving employees and fans waiting to see when it can reopen. Fire crews were called to Petoskey’s Sports Bar in the 120 block of N. 36th Street just after 6 a.m. Wednesday. Seattle Fire said crews found the fire burning in a crawl space beneath the building and were able to get it under control in about 20 minutes. No injuries were reported.
Firefighters said the blaze the damage extended into the interior. Employees at Petoskey’s said the damage appears to be concentrated in the back of the building where the kitchen is located. As a result, the bar is currently closed, including for Super Bowl Sunday. “We’re closed. We’re gonna be closed,” said general manager Garrison Highsmith, who added that plans for reopening remain uncertain.
