No injuries were reported in the fire at Salerno’s on the Fox, 320 N. 2nd Street.
Fire Chief Patrick Mullen said the fire was reported at 5:24 p.m. and that smoke could be seen coming from the back of the one-story restaurant.
“It looks like the area of origin was around the gas meters,” Mullen said. “It’s a blow-torch.”
Firefighters from 10 area departments continuously poured water on stubborn flames fed by a ruptured natural gas line.
John Tulipano went to the scene and submitted several images of the apparatus that responded.
