Captain D’s Fire Leaves Edwardsville Location Temporarily Closed

EDWARDSVILLE - A late-night fire at a Captain D’s restaurant in Edwardsville rapidly drew multiple fire departments to the scene, and the fire was contained quickly by those efforts.

However, the fire and smoke left the building too damaged to reopen immediately, according to the Edwardsville Fire Department.

The call came in at 11:26 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, 2026, from a nearby resident reporting a fire at the Captain D's restaurant in the 1900 block of Troy Road, the department said Thursday morning, Thursday, March 5, 2026.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire was undetermined, the Edwardsville Fire Department said.

“The building sustained enough smoke and fire damage that it won’t be able to immediately reopen,” the Edwardsville Fire Department said.

Edwardsville Fire personnel requested a commercial box alarm, bringing mutual aid departments to assist at the scene or cover for Edwardsville during the incident. Those departments included Glen Carbon, Collinsville, Wood River, Troy Fire, Troy EMS, Maryville EMS and Holiday Shores.
