NEW: Fire destroys Mulhall restaurant





MULHALL, Okla. (AP) — An early morning blaze has destroyed a popular restaurant in a historic downtown building in Mulhall.

Crescent police dispatcher Ryan Collier says a resident reported the fire at Lucille’s Restaurant at 3:41 a.m. Wednesday. No injuries were reported.

Fire officials were able to get the fire under control by 6 a.m.

Collier says a thunderstorm was moving through the area at the time and that fire officials suspect a lightning strike sparked the blaze.

According to the restaurant’s Web site, the recently renovated eatery is located in the old Oklahoma State Bank Building built in 1894.

While the restaurant was “a 95 percent loss,” Collier says fire officials determined the building remained structurally sound.
