LONGVIEW, Texas — A broken natural gas line started a fire at Cheddar's in Longview last Thursday night.
The Longview Fire Department's investigation revealed the cause of the fire of the restaurant was due to a broken natural gas line that was ignited from a pilot light on the stove.
On June 1, officials arrived on the scene of a pressurized smoke coming from the rear of the building. Crews were able to extinguish the fire inside the building due to a fire suppression sprinkler system that contained the fire.
A restaurant employee suffered a minor injury and was treated by EMS on the scene.
