CA Crews Battle 2-Alarm Restaurant Fire

Firefighters on Monday were battling a two-alarm fire at a restaurant where flames had burned through the roof of the business in North Highlands.

The fire was reported shortly before 5:40 p.m. Monday at the restaurant near Madison and Walnut avenues, according to the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District.

Sacramento Metro Fire spokesman Capt. Parker Wilbourn said the restaurant, Phở Bắc Hoa Viet, appears to no longer be in business, but he couldn't confirm that Monday evening. The restaurant at 5060 Madison Avenue is listed online as permanently closed.

Firefighters launched an initial attack on the blaze before falling back to a defensive stance after embers were seen coming from where flames had burned through the roof, according to Sacramento Metro Fire radio traffic.

About 6:45 p.m. Monday, Sacramento Metro Fire announced no injuries had been reported, and firefighters had the blaze under control and were working to completely extinguish the fire. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
