The Thermopolis Fire Department battle the blaze that destroyed the building at 530 Arapahoe Monday night.

THERMOPOLIS - A popular Mexican restaurant in Thermopolis was destroyed from a fire on Monday night, Dec. 7.

According to Thermopolis Volunteer Firefighter Forrest Coleman-Weisz, the volunteer fire department was called to a structure fire in the 500 block of Arapahoe at 7:50 p.m. Monday. He said the department responded with five trucks and approximately 22 personnel. Suppression efforts were completed around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 8.

Coleman-Weisz said the building at 530 Arapahoe appears to be a total loss. No injuries were reported.

Officials from the State Fire Marshal's Office were on scene Tuesday to investigate the fire. Coleman-Weisz said most structure fires are investigated but they cannot always determine where a fire started.

He said no other structures around the restaurant were damaged from the fire. "We were able to contain the fire to the structure itself," Coleman-Weisz said.
