Taco Bell Fire

Montgomery Residents Hold Candlelight Vigil for Damaged Taco Bell

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (EETV)- A group of Montgomery residents gathered Sunday night for a candlelight vigil in memory of a local Taco Bell that suffered substantial fire damage last week.

The restaurant, located off of Montgomery's Zelda Road, went up in flames around the same time Alabama was dealing with strong winter weather.

The event, which was heavily promoted on Facebook, featured performances and locals telling stories about their time at the fast food restaurant according to a report by the Montgomery Advertiser.

"Taco Bell Zelda Rd thanks all of the wonderful customers who are planning a candlelight vigil for the burning of our store,” said the owners to local television station WSFA. “We are overwhelmed by the displays of support. We are extremely thankful that no one was harmed early Wednesday morning when the store burned and that no firefighters were injured as they battled the flames in single digit temperatures.”

Officials are still working to determine the specific cause of the restaurant fire.
