Firefighters Respond to Fire at Subway

CLEVELAND, Ga. — Cleveland Fire Chief Ricky Pruitt reported a fire at the Subway shop at 897 Main Street Thursday at 7:41 p.m.

Pruitt said units from the Cleveland Fire Department were dispatched in response to an electrical fire. A customer in the restaurant used a fire extinguisher to slow the spread of the fire before firefighters arrived. The fire was located in the wall of the restaurant  which had to be partially removed to extinguish the fire completely.

Units from the White County Fire Department were also dispatched but Pruitt said they were cancelled prior to their arrival.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
