Fire tore through a building that houses three St. John's restaurants early Tuesday morning, doing extensive damage.
Mama Soula's, Peter's Pizza and Greensleeves Uptown all reside within the building on Torbay Road in the city's east end.
Deputy fire Chief Roger Hounsell told CBC News the call came in around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday morning and firefighters were met with heavy smoke when they arrived.
Hounsell said it took some time to find out where the fire was. Crews cut holes in the roof for ventilation to let the smoke and heat out of the building and it took three hours for firefighters to get the blaze under control.
Hounsell said he believes the fire started in the kitchen and spread to the attic.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said it's investigating.
In a statement to CBC News, the RNC said officers were at the scene Tuesday morning and the force's fire investigator will be investigating the cause of the fire. The police force offered no further details.
