A fire broke out at a local Mexican restaurant Monday morning.
The San Marcos Fire Department was dispatched to El Golfo de Mexico — 900 North Interstate 35 — for a reported structure fire at approximately 10:22 a.m. A City of San Marcos spokesperson said fire crews quickly arrived on scene and saw heavy smoke coming from the gable vents and eaves of the restaurant’s roof.
The city said fire crews accessed the attic which had flames coming from the gable vents after they ensured no civilians were still inside the structure. Firefighters were able to gain access to the attic and were able to extinguish the fire shortly after 12 p.m.
The city said one firefighter suffered minor injuries but there were no civilians injured in the fire incident.
Fire investigators are currently conducting an investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
