A suspected electrical fire was discovered in the Langford branch of Boston Pizza, while diners were enjoying their meals.

Crews from Langford, Colwood and View Royal responded to the fire at the restaurant located at 2755 Veterans Memorial Pkwy., on Sunday Dec. 22, after a call came in at around 6 p.m., said Langford Fire Chief Chris Aubrey.

Customers and staff were evacuated from the premises, with no injuries reported.

Prior to crews arriving, when Boston Pizza staff reported they could smell smoke in the lobby, an off-duty Colwood firefighter was on hand to help, says Aubrey.

B次元官网网址淭hey helped out in the lobby and saw some flames up in the ceiling space,B次元官网网址� he said.

B次元官网网址淚t looks like the fire was electrical, related to maybe the big sign out front,B次元官网网址� added Aubrey. B次元官网网址淲e have investigators coming today (Dec. 23) to have a look."

Aubrey says firefighters had to cut a hole in the restaurant's exterior wall to help put the fire out.

B次元官网网址淚t was burning in the wall, behind the stucco and the plywood, so we had to make some cuts,B次元官网网址� he said.

It took roughly an hour before firefighters were confident the fire was out.

B次元官网网址淲e've left it with the staff there B次元官网网址� they're going to have to do a little bit of damage clean-up from some water that we sprayed to put the fire out," said Aubrey. "But hopefully they won't be closed for too long.B次元官网网址�
