Jacksonville Fire and Rescue responds to fire at Chick-fil-A on Philips Hwy. and JTB

Jacksonville Fire and Rescue responded to a Chick-fil-A on Jacksonville’s Southside Tuesday morning.

A fire early Tuesday morning at the Chick-fil-A on Philips Highway at JTB has forced the fast-food restaurant to shut down temporarily.

Jacksonville Fire and Rescue said the fire appeared to be electrical, and the kitchen sustained damage.

The restaurant will be closed for the foreseeable future, according to franchise owner and operator Ben Bryant.

“We will have to have our consultants come down. As you can see, significant damage to our drive-thru. It is unfortunate, but luckily, no one was here, no casualties,” Bryant said. “But it’s definitely going to be a while before we open up for the community again.”
