Little damage done from oven fire at Big Tom’s Diner

The Pierre Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to an oven fire at Big Tom’s Diner at approximately 5:15pm yesterday (Dec. 22).

Chief Ian Paul says when firefighters arrived, the fire was contained inside the oven. He says thankfully the oven door was left closed to contain the fire before firefighters arrived.

Paul says there was very little damage as a result of the fire. Big Tom’s Diner reopened for business later yesterday evening.
