An insurance company is suing the City of Evansville nearly a year after a fire rekindled at a restaurant.

The flare-up caused thousands of dollars in damage.

The suit claims that the Evansville Fire Department didn’t fully extinguish a fire at Madelein’s Fusion Restaurant in December 2024.

The insurance company then had to pay out $ 1.2 million.

The city declined to comment on pending litigation.
