Smoke Forces Temporary Closure, Evacuation Of Century Whataburger
December 16, 2011
Fire departments from across the area responded to Whataburger in Century late Thursday night after employees reported that smoke was filling the building.
The first firefighters on scene reported light smoke showing about 11 p.m. Firefighters were able to narrow the source of the smoke down to a burned up motor in an appliance used to mix soft drinks. Other than the appliance motor, there was no other damage reported.
Employees and customers were evacuated from the restaurant in the 8000 block of North Century Boulevard after the fire alarm activated. The restaurant was closed into the early morning hours as maintenance personnel worked to repair the equipment.
The Century and McDavid stations of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Flomaton Fire Department responded to the call.
