Chattanooga Fire Department's Engine #19 and Squad #19 responded to the Steak ‘n Shake, 5118 Hixson Pike, on a small outside fire Monday evening. 


"It appeared to be started by a discarded cigarette that spread to the surrounding mulch and then on to the building, officials said.  "The fire was extinguished quickly and there was no damage to the interior."

CFD crews used a fan to ventilate the restaurant and it will be reopening for business shortly.
