Burger King Goes Up in Flames

 

ABILENE, TX — The Abilene Fire Department responded to a commercial structure fire that broke out in the Burger King restaurant in the 1600 block of Antilley Rd. early Tuesday morning, destroying the building. 

According to the AFD, the blaze began around 2:46 a.m., prompting fire crews to rush to the scene. Upon arrival, they encountered the structure engulfed in heavy smoke emanating from the top of the building.

Despite their initial attempts to locate the source of the fire, firefighters faced challenging conditions, including extreme heat and thick smoke, compelling them to shift their operations to the exterior of the structure.

The intensity of the blaze, particularly in the attic area, forced the crews into a defensive position as they battled the flames. 

As of now, firefighters remain on-site, diligently working to extinguish the fire.

Fortunately, no injuries have been reported in connection with the incident. However, the commercial building is declared a total loss.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
