Copper Canyon Grill in Silver Spring repairing fire damage to restaurant


Copper Canyon Grill
at 928 Ellsworth Drive at Downtown Silver Spring remains closed after the restaurant was damaged by a fire on the morning of July 12. Sixty-five firefighters were needed on scene to extinguish the kitchen blaze, which traveled through the ductwork of the restaurant, Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson Pete Piringer said. Heavy smoke drifted up through the roof, and the odor of smoke was detected by residents as far away as Four Corners. 


A major part of the repairs will be to the grease duct in the kitchen. As the name suggests, the grease duct vents grease-laden vapors that are flammable from kitchen equipment. They require regular maintenance to avoid buildup of grease residue that can cause fires. A sign in the restaurant window does not mention the fire as the reason for the current closure, nor an estimated timeline for reopening of the business.
