A local barbecue joint was gutted by a fire early in the morning last Wednesday.
On May 15 at around 4:15 a.m. local firefighters received a call about a fire taking place at Le Smok’N Bull restaurant on Hwy. 148 in Luskville.
According to Municipality of Pontiac Fire Chief Richard Groulx, responding firefighters noticed smoke and flames emanating from the interior of the small building.
With seven trucks, around 25 firefighters and police officers on the scene, firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze in about two hours, Groulx said.
No individuals were in the building at the time of the incident.
The fire caused significant damage to the building leaving it completely demolished. Costs will be expensive, Groulx said.
The cause of the blaze has not been identified and police are still investigating, Groulx said.
