** FIRE DAMAGES SOUTH KC-MO FAST FOOD EATERY **



... The alarm came in just before 12:30 am for smoke inside the Sonic drive-in at 135th Street and Wornall in far southwest KC-MO..

It took crews about 15 minutes just to find the source of the smoke - it was a defective light fixture on the building.

The fire's reported under control exactly an hour later- and the Health Department was called to check if the eatery could open as normal today.

It only took about 20 minutes to bring the "suspicious" fire under control and there were no injuries.
