News Talk 94.1/AM 1600 Where The Upper Cumberland Talks
Cookeville Fire Department responded to a fire at Crawdaddy’s Wednesday morning just one day after its grand reopening.
Chief Benton Young said that the call came in around 9:30 a.m. He said that the fire posed minimum damage and that there were no injuries.
“It took a little while to figure out where the fire was actually at,” Young said. “It was actually in a wall behind their cooking area where their vent system is. They had a grill there that conducted heat through that wall and had a piece of 2 by 10, a piece of wood that caught on fire and burned. We cut a hole in the wall and removed the wood and put the fire out.”
Young said that after finding the fire, responders were able to put the fire out within minutes.
