Firemen could be seen wearing breathing apparatus as they entered and exited the building from which smoke and smells of burning were coming. Three fire trucks, about a dozen firemen, and six police cars could be seen in attendance.
There were several bystanders on the street, on the corners, and watching from balconies and porches of nearby residences. When asked, some of these bystanders said that the Fish Hut had been closed and that as far as they knew, no one had been injured. There were no ambulances on the scene nor, according to bystanders, had any ambulances been seen or heard leaving the fire scene.
