The fire was reported just after 10 p.m. Photographs of the fire that were posted on Twitter by a Cumberland County fire and rescue news service showed that the fire was mostly contained to the building’s interior.

Petrillo’s is adjacent to the Amtrak Downeaster boarding platform and is across the street from the Nordica Theater and public parking garage.
