BREAKING: Fire at 13th St. Capogiro
categories | Food News
A fire broke out just before 8 a.m. this morning at the original Capogiro Gelato Artisans on the corner of 13th and Sansom Streets. Firefighters had the blaze, which was possibly started by the shop’s large gelato display case, under control by 8 a.m. There were no injuries.
Capogiro operations controller Tacy Connell said that the case, which was imported directly from Italy when the shop opened in December 2003, could have overheated after being switched on this morning. Other than the destroyed case, the shop suffered water damage.
13th St. Capogiro will be closed until further notice.
