Durango's Only McDonalds Closed By Fire

Cortez, Pagosa Springs Now Nearest Stores

POSTED: 10:48 am MDT June 17, 2004

Durango, Colo., residents who get a Big Mac attack have to drive to Cortez or Pagosa Springs after a fire closed the only McDonalds in town.

The fire broke out in the kitchen area of the West 6th Street restaurant just before 1 p.m. Tuesday.

It took 28 firefighters, three engines and a ladder truck about two hours to get the blaze under control.

The fire's origin was traced to an overheated deep fryer exhaust system.

Although cleanup is already under way, the owner of the restaurant said he's unsure when the store will be able to reopen.
