VIDEO: A popular restaurant in south Hot Springs, Jason's Burgers N More on Amity, was destroyed by a fire that broke out just before 2:30 p.m. Monday. Around 19 firefighters from the Lake Hamilton, 70 West and Morning Star fire departments spent several hours working to put out the fire, which gutted the building at 148 Amity Road. Lake Hamilton Fire & Rescue Fire Marshal Bill Heck said the cause of the fire was still under investigation. "It looks like the fire originated on the C-side of the building [toward the back], which is the kitchen side of the building, but I don't know if that's the [exact location] of the kitchen or not," said Lake Hamilton Fire Chief Doug Davey. LifeNet, the Garland County sheriff's office, Entergy Arkansas Inc., the Garland County Department of Emergency Management and the Garland County Road Department were all on the scene, Davey added.
