Fire crews responded to a downtown Greenville restaurant Thursday evening after reports of a fire.
Greenville Fire Marshal Tristan Johnson said crews were doing repairs on the roof of Tsunami Restaurant, at 106 East North Street, when a fire broke out. Fire crews responded and put out the small fire but needed to cut a hole into the roof to stop it from spreading, Johnson said.
Johnson could not confirm smoke or water damage inside the restaurant.
Employees were inside the restaurant at the time of the fire and were evacuated, according to Johnson.
The owner told WYFF News 4 that the building has been deemed safe by fire officials.
