Crews extinguished a fire at a Wendy's restaurant in Fayetteville early Thursday.
Around 1 a.m., firefighters with the Fayetteville Police Department responded to the Wendy's located at 3748 Ramsey Street.
Officials said the fire was visible from the roof when crews arrived at the scene.
The fire started beneath a cooking surface while employees were cleaning it, officials said, and the fire quickly spread up the exhaust vent pipe to the roof. The fire was quickly extinguished, but heavy smoke was visible inside the restaurant, which suffered moderate damage.
