KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)-- Arson investigators with the Knoxville Fire Department are trying to figure out what caused a fire at a Nixon's Deli Saturday night.
A caller reported smoke rising from the Nixon's Deli at Broadway and Rennoc Dr. came in just after 9 p.m. Sunday
No one was inside the restaurant at the time, which had just closed at 9 p.m.
Flames broke the roof of the store, which sits in the Fountain Village shopping plaza next to other businesses, such at Stanley Golf and City Salon.
It took firefighters less than an hour to extinguish the flames.
According to KFD Spokesperson D.J. Corcoran, the restaurant shared a common attic with City Salon next door. They were able to cut a trench in the roof and push the fire back.
Arson invetigators are working to determine the point of origin.
