CAPE CORAL, Fla.- News video shows the damage inside a local pizza shop that caught fire Sunday night.

The owner of Papa Joe’s on Cape Coral Parkway says the fire started in a refrigerator.

Over the weekend, officials on the scene said smoke was seen coming from all vents on the roof. Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire in about 20 minutes and kept it from spreading through the rest of the building.

The fire was determined to be accidental and damage was estimated at $250,000.

The owner says there’s still no timetable for re-opening but they’re working on it. They’re currently looking into opening a temporary location somewhere.
