Fire Damages Historic Sammy's Restaurant in Old North Sacramento

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In the early hours of Tuesday, fire crews from the Sacramento Fire Department (SFD) responded to reports of a structure fire at Sammy's Restaurant, a beloved establishment located in the 2000 block of Del Paso Boulevard in the North Sacramento area. The fire was quickly contained and extinguished by firefighters, who discovered the blaze in an outer storage area of the restaurant.

According to reports, the fire's origin may be linked to transients who had a warming fire against the building in the same area earlier, as noted by local security agents. However, fire officials are still investigating the incident and working to confirm the exact cause and origin of the fire.

Sammy's Restaurant, which has been an iconic presence on Del Paso Boulevard since its opening in 1944, suffered significant setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to neighbors. The owners have been struggling to reopen the establishment after the extended closure caused by pandemic-related restrictions.

Despite the fire, there were no reported injuries during the incident. Firefighters acted swiftly to contain the fire, preventing further damage to the restaurant's interior. The prompt response by SFD undoubtedly minimized the damage.

Local residents and regular patrons of Sammy's expressed their concern for the owners, who have persevered through the challenges brought on by the pandemic. The restaurant holds a special place in the community, known not only for its long history but also for its nostalgic charm and delectable cuisine. The community rallies behind them, offering support and encouragement during these challenging times.

Further updates on the cause and extent of the fire damage are expected once fire officials complete their investigation and release their findings.
