Second fire at El Azteca Restaurant destroys building...

An apparent rekindle at the El Azteca Restaurant in Lakewood has destroyed the building.  Lakewood firefighters were called back to the scene on Fairmount Avenue just before 2 this afternoon.  Lakewood Fire Chief Kurt Hallberg says the roof of the building was fully-engulfed in flames on arrival.  Hallberg says the blaze spread through the building quickly this time... and, fire crews had to take a "defensive posture."  Two aerial fire trucks... one from Lakewood... the other from Celoron... were pouring water on the structure late this afternoon.  The cause is under investigation... but, Hallberg says Sheriff's Department investigators had left the scene a short time before the call went out.
-----
The initial fire at El Azteca was called in about 9:30 this morning.   Chief Hallberg says there was heavy fire coming out of the eastside basement window... going up the wall, and into the roof area when they arrived.  Celoron was called in to assist.  There were no injuries reported either time.  Fairmount Avenue in that area is again open.
