JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — No injuries have been reported after a massive fire broke out at the Bono's Bar-B-Q Pit in the St. Johns Town Center Monday night, according to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department.
JFRD says the restaurant in the 10000 block of Skinner Lake Drive on the Southside is a total loss after the blaze.
The fire was reported around 10 p.m., about an hour after the restaurant closed, according to fire rescue. JFRD said the fire went through the attic of the restaurant and was initially so severe, JFRD had to pull firefighters out from the building out of fear it would collapse. Firefighters were able to return and eventually had the fire under control before 11 p.m.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
