WHAT CAUSED THE DEATH OF 7 U.S. MARINES AT AN ARMY BASE. AND A POPULAR LOCAL RESTAURANT UP IN FLAMES DURING WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE LUNCHTIME RUSH. Devin: TOPPING OUR NEWS HERE AT 5:30, A FIRE INSIDE THE RAM'S HORN ON MIDDLEBELT IN LIVONIA. Ruth: A HUGE CLOUD OF SMOKE POURING FROM THAT BUILDING AS FIREFIGHTERS TRIED TO GET A HANDLE ON THE FLAMES. CHAUNCY GLOVER JOINS US LIVE FROM THE SCENE. DO THEY KNOW HOW THE FIRE STARTED? Chauncy: GOOD EVENING, RUTH! THEY DO KNOW HOW IT STARTED, A DEEP FRYER CAUGHT FIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RUSH HOUR DURING LUNCH HOUR. THE SMOKE IS JUST BEGINNING TO CLEAR. FIRE INVESTIGATORS AND FIREFIGHTERS ARE STILL HERE ON SCENE. IT TOOK THEM ABOUT THREE HOURS TO BATTLE THESE BLAZES. BUT LOOK ACROSS THE STREET. THIS IS ALL THAT'S LEFT OF THIS RESTAURANT. THE LADY CAME AND SAID, I'LL HELP YOU UP. AND I LOOKED THAT WAY WHERE THE KITCHEN IS AND I SAW ALL THESE FLAMES. Chauncy: THEY WERE INSIDE THE RAM'S HORN ON MIDDLEBELT AT 8 MILE WHEN THE DIEP FRYER CAUGHT FIRE. I WAS SCARED! I NEVER WAS THAT CLOSE TO SOMETHING THAT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FRYER WENT UP, LOOKED OVER AND SEEN THE FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF IT AND TOLD THE MANAGER TO MAKE SURE SHE GOT EVERYBODY OUT OF THE RESTAURANT AND CLEARED OUT THE RESTAURANT. Chauncy: CUSTOMERS AND WORKERS ESCAPED, THE FIRE TAKING OVER THE KITCHEN FAST. I WAS WATCHING DISHES AND TOLD TO GET AWAY FROM THE WALL AND HE TOLD ME TO MOVE OUT FAST. Chauncy: FIREFIGHTERS WORKING HARD TO DOUSE THE FIRE. PARTS OF THE BUILDING COLLAPSING. AND JUST LIKE THAT, A FAMILY RESTAURANT GONE! IT'S A TOTAL LOSS AND HAS TO BE DEMOLISHED AND BUILD BACK UP AND START FRESH. MOST IMPORTANTLY, EVERYONE GOT OUT OKAY, ALL THE CUSTOMERS, ALL THE EMPLOYEES, THAT WAS THE MAIN CONCERN, OBVIOUSLY. Chauncy: AND MANY OF THE CUSTOMERS ARE NEIGHBORS WHO LIVE NEARBY AND HAPPY TO HEAR THE MANAGER WILL REBUILD AND REOPEN. THIS WAS A VERY TOUGH FIRE, I'M TOLD, TO FIGHT BY THE FIREFIGHTERS. THANKFULLY NO FIREFIGHTERS WERE INJURED. LIVE IN LIVONIA, I'M CHAUNCY GLOVER, LOCAL 4. Ruth: WE LOVE TO HEAR "NO INJURIES." WERE THERE NEARBY BUILDINGS DAMAGED? Chauncy: I'M TOLD AS FAR AS THE BUSINESSES SURROUNDING THIS RESTAURANT, NONE OF THEM WERE DAMAGED. BUT BEHIND THE RESTAURANT THERE ARE HOMES. ABOUT TWO OR THREE OF THEM DID SUFFER SOME SMOKE AND SOME WATER DAMAGE DUE TO THE FIREFIGHTERS TRYING TO DOUSE OUT THE FLAMES ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS ALSO WHERE
