AFD FF's Save Pizza Hut and Billy's Pub from Fire

AFD units were dispatched to a structure fire at 520am this morning to Pizza Hut located at 1020 Juan Tabo NE.

15 units and 39 FF's arrived minutes later to find smoke and flame coming from a window. The FF's forced the door, located the fire in the dining room and extinguished the fire within 5 min.

Crews worked quickly to extinguish the fire and in doing so, prevented the extension of the fire to the remaining areas of the Pizza Hut and Billy's Pub.

No structural damage was found to the Pizza Hut but only minimal fire and smoke damage noted in a small portion of the restaurant.  

The Pizza Hut will be closed today while AFD Fire Investigators determine the cause and origin of the fire.

No injuries were reported.
