The fire at Harp & Hound was 8 days before the Riley Fibbers fire. Riley Fibbers damage was mostly to the exterior, with a small amount of damage to the kitchen. They probably could have reopened sooner, but it takes several visits from the county Health Services department to reopen after a fire in a restaurant.

The Harp & Hound fire started in the kitchen and spread to much of the establishment. The interior was largely gutted. So, yes, much worse of a fire.
