Boulder firefighters have contained a fire at 14th and Pearl streets atop the roof of the Oak at Fourteenth restaurant, although they are continuing to fight flames inside the ceiling of the building.
Boulder Fire Chief Larry Donner said the fire broke out about 10:30 a.m. and is located in the ceiling of the restaurant, between a vaulted ceiling and the roof in a void space, which is making the fire difficult to access.
“It’s hidden from view, so it’s a difficult fire to fight,” Donner said.
Firefighters have pulled down the ceiling inside and cut a hole in the roof to gain access to the flames.
Donner said the fire is considered contained, but the fire was still active as of 11:50 a.m. He expected fire crews to be on scene for at least several more hours.
