(WALB) &#8211; A Burger King restaurant in Bainbridge was destroyed in an early morning fire Monday, Jan. 19, resulting in a total loss of the building.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The fire started around 2 a.m., according to General Manager Jessica Jones. No one was inside the building at the time of the fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Jones said she received a call informing her that her store appeared dark inside and looked to be on fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt did however mess up the entire building, so as of right now, Bainbridge Burger King will not be up and running for months.\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Details about the fire remain limited. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">WALB is working to learn more.
