An estimated 25 people have been displaced from their apartments after a fire broke out this morning at Sheesh Mediterranean Cuisine restaurant in downtown Ann Arbor and spread to neighboring businesses.

The grill fire started about 11:23 a.m. at the restaurant at 207 N. Main St. and was under control in roughly two hours.

A cook at the restaurant was taken by ambulance to a local hospital after he injured his knee running from the fire, Ann Arbor Assistant Fire Chief Ed Dziubinski said.

The blaze caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, Ann Arbor Battalion Chief Robert Vogel said. At least 20 firefighters from Ann Arbor, Pittsfield Township and Ypsilanti fire departments responded.

Adjoining businesses Edible Arrangements at 205 N. Main St. and Mythlogic Computers, 209 N. Main St., were also affected.

Firefighters said they rescued a cat from an apartment and gave it oxygen.

North Main Street was closed between Ann and Miller streets.

Eric Schreffler, 30, who co-owns Mythlogic Computers, said he left the business when he heard a fire alarm next door. "There was smoke coming into our building for a little while, and they asked us to leave," he said.
