Fire and smoke damages were estimated by Fire Chief Cloyed Penrod as over $6600, caused by a fire which broke out at the structure, early Monday morning. The fire apparently caused by defective electrical wiring, was observed at 1:15 a.m. Monday by Lehi Police Officer Clemn Turner, on duty at the time.

Three trucks, including two pumpers, were brought into use at the scene. Air packs (oxygen masks) were worn by the men and the new smoke ejectors were used to pump out the heavy smoke from the building. The fire crew worked at the scene for two hours and were able to confine the acutal fire to two walls of the large dining room. The large plate glass window in the front of the building was cracked by the intense heat, but the window held' and thus prevented the rush of air which would have spread the fire beyond control. Officer Turner reported that it was coincidental that he observed the smoke through the window as he was driving by the Truck Inn enroute to another of business for checking.
