    Fire investigators have determined that a fire inside RC McGraws Sunday morning was intentionally set.

    The Manhattan Fire Department and Riley County Police Department say an 11-year-old male suspect started a fire in the bathroom. The fire resulted in an estimated $12,000 in damage to the business, including about $5,000 in structural damage and $7,000 in damage to contents.

    No injuries were reported in the Sunday fire and fire officials say the building was safely evacuated. According to RCPD, the 11-year-old was not charged.

    RC McGraws remains closed until further notice.

    Original story: 8 p.m. Sunday

    A small fire at a Manhattan bar and grill was quickly extinguished Sunday morning, but caused approximately $12,000 in damages.

    The Manhattan Fire Department says the fire at RC McGraws was called in just after 11:30 a.m. and was already partially extinguished when firefighters arrived on scene. The remaining fire was put out within five minutes of arrival. An image of a fire-damaged restroom stall was posted Sunday on the company’s Facebook page (see below).

    No injuries were reported and everyone in the building was evacuated safely. Fire loss is estimated at $5,000 to the structure and $7,000 to the contents. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

    The business remains closed until further notice while ownership cleans up the damage.
