Smoke billowed out from the restaurant's roof as firefighters worked to extinguish the flames.

People, some from surrounding businesses, spilled into the McDonald's parking lot to watch, and traffic was backed up on Henderson Highway.

City fire officials said the call came in at 2:49 p.m.

Crews from four fire paramedic stations responded, including nine fire crews and two paramedic crews as well as supervisors.

Officials said everyone got out of the building on their own before emergency crews arrived.

They said a damage estimate will be available after the investigation is complete.
