REXBURG — Taco Bell reopened its Main Street location Friday, Nov. 20 after having to close due to a fire on Nov. 5.
Shortly after the fire, Madison County Assistant Fire Chief Mikel Walker told EastIdahoNews.com the fire started in the wall behind the fryers. The fire was contained to the wall on the west side of the building. It spread through the wiring, resulting in some electrical issues.
The fire department cut a hole in the outside of the building to get at the fire. Walker told the Rexburg Standard Journal that cutting into the building in this way was less damaging than other ways of getting to the fire.
The damage resulted in the franchise restaurant being closed for two weeks.
