Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue Department's Districts 4 and 6 and Rescue 8 responded to the Hardee's restaurant located at 1851 Memorial Boulevard around 6:45 Christmas morning (Thursday, 12/25/2014). The restaurant was open again, just hours after that.
When Ladder 6's crew arrived, flames were visible through the windows.
The fire was located in the kitchen and employees had already deployed their extinguisher. MFRD crews used a chemical extinguisher to put out the remaining fire. Crews also helped clear smoke from the building.
There were no injuries associated with this incident.
According to Shift Commander Dale Maynard, the restaurant had a lot of clean up to do before they could reopen for business. But hard work and determination by employees, enabled Hardee's on Memorial to reopen for business.
