On Saturday, the Brownsburg Fire Territory battled a fire at a Burger King they say was caused by 'improperly discarded smoking materials.' Two firefighters sustained minor injuries and the drive through window was majorly damaged. 📸: Brownsburg Fire
The department said they were called to the restaurant at 1050 Green Street around 7:40 a.m. by employees indicating a 'light burning smell.'The department said the fire began within the walls, roof and ceiling with the most damage happening at the drive through window. They were able to get the fire under control by 8:15 a.m.
After a thorough investigation, Brownsburg Fire Territory determined that improperly discarded smoking materials in the mulch bed by the drive through window caused the fire. They said the smoking materials smoldered slowly for hours, potentially starting at night and becoming a working fire in the morning."We ask that you please do not discard smoking materials in mulch or any other outdoor space, rather in an ashtray or designated smoking material disposal receptacle," Brownsburg Fire Territory said in a social media post.
