 Clean up at a local restaurant could take several days after a late night fire Sunday.

Fire crews say the blaze began around 8:30 p.m. at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill. It started in the kitchen and though crews were able to get it contained the restaurant filled with smoke and customers and employees were evacuated.

The Battalion Chief on the scene said he wasn't sure if it was employees who sprayed an extinguisher, but that it did put out most of the flames.

One customer said everything happened pretty quickly, and he described seeing thick smoke.

“It did get bad. Six trucks showed up with ladders. It escalated. It was a full-fledged fire,” said Adam Thomas. “It was tense. You could just feel an overwhelming pressure of like the situation.”

Crews said the Health Department would be heading to the scene and it could take them a few days to clean up the mess from the extinguisher.

The restaurant will remain closed Monday and could also be closed Tuesday.
