Taylorville Fire Department Responds To McDonalds Fire Monday Evening

Taylorville firefighters were called to a structure fire at the Taylorville McDonalds in the 400 block of West Spresser Street just before 4:30 Monday afternoon.


Crews arrived to find smoke inside the building and coming from a rooftop unit. Maintenance workers were able to put out the rooftop fire before firefighters arrived, but crews then discovered additional fire inside the ductwork.

 

Firefighters extinguished the remaining flames and conducted extensive overhaul to remove smoldering materials from the building.

 

No injuries were reported. The fire is believed to be accidental, and crews were on the scene for about an hour and a half. The restaurant was closed Monday night and into Tuesday, but officials are hoping to open as soon as possible.
