When a fire broke out in the kitchen of Miyake, a Japanese restaurant in Collegetown, in the early morning of March 7, four Cornell students chose to stay behind in the burning building and alert their neighbors of the danger before evacuating.

Popular Collegetown restaurant Miyake will be closed indefinitely after a fire at the restaurant early Wednesday morning caused significant damage to the restaurant’s kitchen, according to the Ithaca Fire Department.

Several people were evacuated on Eddy Street early Wednesday morning due to a fire that appeared to start in the kitchen of Miyake. No injuries were reported, according to Dan Tier, assistant fire chief of the Ithaca Fire Department.
