One person was treated at the scene after a fire broke out at a fast-food restaurant in Oakwood.
The Burger King on Mundy Mill Road caught fire late Monday night, Dec. 23, according to Hall County Fire Rescue (HCFR).
At approximately 10:40 p.m., firefighters responded to the scene. The first units to arrive reported fire exiting the roof and smoke throughout the building, says HCFR spokesperson Kimberlie Ledsinger.
The restaurant was open for business when the fire broke out. Ledsinger says employees and customers were evacuated before firefighters arrived.
Hall County firefighters quickly extinguished the flames from inside the building. They extinguished the remaining hot spots on the roof using a water can.
Medical personnel evaluated one patient at the scene who declined to be transported to the hospital. The Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office is currently investigating the cause of the fire.
