I was on Facebook and saw the post about a minute after it was posted that Hooper's Crab House caught fire. I'm really hoping it wasn't as severe as Hooper's says it was....and to be honest, it didn't look too bad. I also didn't notice a smell of burnt wood, so hopefully it was a small fire.
***UPDATE ON 8/4/23- Hooper's plans to reopen tomorrow, 8/5!!
From the Ocean City Fire Department:
COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE FIRE IN WEST OCEAN CITY
The Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office investigated a commercial structure fire at Hooper’s Restaurant located at 12913 Ocean Gateway in West Ocean City [on Thursday, August 3, 2023].
The Ocean City Fire Department was dispatched for an appliance fire in the kitchen at 7:32 PM. Upon arrival, crews quickly located a fire in the kitchen behind a cooking appliance. Firefighters from Ocean City and Berlin worked meticulously to contain the fire that extended into the walls for approximately 3 hours.
The restaurant was at full capacity at the time of the fire and an orderly evacuation led by restaurant staff resulted in no injuries being reported.
The Worcester County Fire Marshal’s Office responded to the scene and conducted a fire scene examination. The exact cause of the fire considered accidental originating in an area near the cooking appliance that was involved.
The restaurant is expected to remain closed for repairs for several days.
Thanks as always for watching!
