Comment by Ricky Dale Maddox on April 1, 2009 at 6:55am: This goes to show you how dangerous fast food resteraunts are with fire in the roof area , due to the truss roof a fire can get in this area before arrivial off the fire crews , think of how long a fire has been burning in these buildings before sending crews in on what could be a death trap! There was an article that came out in Firehouse magizine a few years back about these buildings.
