Yakima's "iconic" Stop N Go Drive-In was destroyed in a fire on Thursday. The restaurant will be closed indefinitely, City of Yakima spokesman Randy Beehler said.
The fire started before noon Thursday at 2820 Fruitvale Blvd. while the business was closed and vacant, Beehler said.
Firefighters arrived to heavy black smoke coming from the roof of the building. They initially battled the fire from the exterior due to concerns that the roof might collapse.
Once it was determined that the roof was stable, firefighters entered the building and put out the flames fairly quickly, Beehler said.
The fire caused about $115,000 in damage. The building is a total loss
The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
