A popular Leominster restaurant will be closed for the foreseeable future after it suffered damage from a kitchen fire on Saturday, July 17.
Thanks to quick thinking from employees and the work of crews from Leominster and surrounding communities, the fire at Luccas American Kitchen at 428 Lancaster St. (Route 117) was extinguished about an hour after it was first spotted around 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Leominster Fire Department Deputy Chief Gary J. Ranno said the fire “appears to have started in the kitchen.”
Although the cause is still under investigation, the fire is not related to the strong storms that rolled through the area late Saturday afternoon.

The Leominster Public Schools will receive a grant of more than $200,000 to bring a new biomedical sciences curriculum to high school students, state officials have announced.
The $226,851 award from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center’s STEM Equipment and Professional Development Grant program means the district can implement the Project Lead the Way Biomedical Sciences curriculum at both Leominster High School and LHS’ vocational-technical division, the Center for Technical Education Innovation. The grant allows the Leominster Public Schools to offer professional development to 12 teachers and provide about 380 students with an inquiry, project-based, and hands-on learning using equipment such as PCR machines (which can make many copies of a single piece of DNA), incubators, microcentrifuges and DNA analysis kits.
