Dirty Al's on the Island catches fire

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND -- An early morning fire at Dirty Al's restaurant caused damage to the kitchen and roof area of the building. A small group of employees had arrived and were working inside the building, but it was a county park employee who saw the smoke rising from the vents on the roof.

The county park employee then alerted the men inside and called the fire department.

When firemen arrived at the scene, they donned their protective equipment and put out the fire within a short period of time. No one was injured in the fire.

No estimates of damage are available at this time as the fire is still under investigation.
