Fire crews battle a blaze inside a vacant former restaurant building on Greenville Ave. on April 22, 2013.
A three-alarm fire in a vacant former restaurant on Greenville Ave. in Dallas caused fire crews to close the road as they battled the blaze.
Northbound lanes of Greenville were reopened around 6 a.m., but southbound lanes will be shutdown for an extended period of time.
Around 11:50 p.m. Sunday night, Dallas firefighters responded to the fire in the 7500 block of Greenville Ave. Fire was visible through the roof of the vacant structure when firefighters arrived. The interior blaze was so intense that firefighters could only work defensively from the outside. Parts of the roof have already collapsed due to the intense heat.
The crews used several ladder trucks and poured thousands of gallons of water per minute onto the fire. Atmos Energy is headed to the scene to cut off the gas to the former restaurant. Once that's done, crews are planning to knock down remains and extinguish any remaining hot spots. The structure is a total loss.
According to nearby residents, the building was formerly an Uncle Julio's Restaurant but has been vacant for some time. Firefighters said they were aware homeless people often stayed in the building. Crews said they would search for any possible victims inside the building while they extinguish the remaining fires.
There are no reported injuries at this time. Investigators are working to determine a cause.
