Papa John's fire started in pizza boxes
A Monday morning fire that has closed the Christiansburg Papa John's for the week started in some pizza boxes that were stacked up along an inside wall, Lt. Danny Yopp with the Christiansburg Fire Department said.
Yopp said the fire department got a call about the fire at 4:52 a.m. Monday. It took firefighters five or six minutes to contain the blaze, he said.
The fire was contained to one wall, Yopp said, and the building sustained no structural damage. There was smoke damage throughout the store, he said.
A Papa John's employee said the store, at 7 South Main Street, is expected to be closed for at least a week.
