A fire was quickly located in the attic and extinguished by the personnel on scene. Crews were on scene for about an hour. No injuries were reported.

A malfunctioning neon sign caused the fire. Damage is estimated at $2,500.

I heard from an "inside source" that their new top secret receipe for "hot wings" is what caused the fire. Just passing along and I cannot reveal my source.
