HAMLET — One local fast food restaurant will be closed for a while following an evening fire late last week.
According to Asst. Chief Richard Lassiter with the Hamlet Fire Department, a fryer at the Burger King in Hamlet caught fire during a storm that swept through the county.
The call came in around 6:10 p.m.
No injuries were reported and the building itself is “structurally sound,” but Lassiter said the fryer will need to be replaced.
