Fundraiser launched to rebuild Burlingame bar
BURLINGAME (KSNT) - Staff members are looking for help to rebuild after a fire burned down Burlingame's only restaurant and bar on Sunday.
The Burlingame community has set up a GoFundMe for The Den after a catastrophic fire resulted in a total loss. The GoFundMe aims to support the building owners and business owner.
It took multiple volunteer firefighters hours to get the late night fire under control. The restaurant was only in business for four months.
The official cause of the fire has yet to be determined, but the owner was able to capture surveillance video that could help with the investigation.
“We are wanting to come back,” head bartender Harley Dubois told 27 News. “We are encouraging the owners that we’re all willing. We’re from here, we’ve made very close friends here, we love everybody that’s come in.”
The Den reported that nobody was hurt and thanked the community for its support.
27 News will continue to follow this story and update you as we get more information. You can support The Den by donating to its GoFundMe online.
