VIDEO, PHOTOS: Emergency crews were called to fire at the Hardee’s restaurant on John T. Reid Parkway in Scottsboro early Friday. A viewer first alerted News 19 of the fire around 12:45 a.m., sharing photos and a video that showed the restaurant in flames.
Scottsboro Fire Deputy Chief Jonathan Lee said the flames were high when the first crews arrived at the 12:15 a.m. fire call; three fire trucks and some off-duty firefighters were called to help fight the blaze.
Lee added nobody was injured, nobody was found inside, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
A News 19 photographer arrived around 2:30 a.m. At that time, white smoke was coming from the restaurant. Photos show the roof caved in, a collapsed wall, and extensive damage to the dining room.
