ATLANTA — Firefighters were called to a popular Atlanta restaurant Monday for reports of smoke.
Atlanta Fire Rescue Department crews were seen at Rocky Mountain Pizza Company, not far from Georgia Tech's campus. At least three fire engines surrounded 1005 Hemphill Ave. NW Monday evening. Crews were seen in full gear on the roof of the building.
AFRD said it was working a fire at the one-story restaurant. Fire officials said when they arrived they saw light smoke coming from the roof.
Firefighters evacuated the building and were able to isolate the flames to the front left corner of the restaurant, authorities said. The restaurant did not suffer any other damage and no one was injured.
The restaurant posted a statement on its website stating that it was a small electrical fire near the front door.
"A BIG thank you to the Atlanta Fire Department for their quick response time and minimizing damages. Special thanks to our General Manager, Mike Holley and our regulars for assisting us with the evacuation. We're very grateful no one was injured and hope to be serving up suds and slices very soon," Rocky Mountain Pizza wrote.
