Jasper PD: Commercial fire at Green Top BBQ
JASPER, AL (WBRC) - Just months after opening, a restaurant in Jasper is having to close it's doors.
The back part of the Green Top Cafe caught on fire Sunday evening. The restaurants manager says the fire started in the back part of the building and caught onto the roof.
It took crews 30-to-45 minutes to put out the flames. About 30 people were inside the restaurant at the time.
"It's really tough because we have a lot of employees that you know depend on us, you know damage and to overcome things like this but the insurance that we've got should be able to cover all of this and you know get it back. Just minimal time down," Co-owner Tony Headrick said.
No one was hurt but the manager says they will have to close for three to four months to repair the damage.
