TRAVIS COUNTY, TX -- Firefighters are investigating an overnight fire at Los Pinos Mexican Restaurant on Hudson Bend Road near Lake Travis.
The fire broke out around 3 a.m., and firefighters say it started in the attic. As a result, the building sustained mostly interior damage.
3 firefighters were hurt while fighting the fire when a piece of wood from the structure fell on them. Two were taken to the hospital as a precaution and checked out for neck and back injuries. They were released a short time later and are expected to make a full recovery. A third firefighter sustained injuries to his hand.
The restaurant is popular among locals. Several showed up for breakfast and lunch.
"We've been coming here for 4 or 5 years. [I'm] very surprised. Great family restaurant. We really love this place, probably come here once a week so," said Andrew Curtis Wellings. "There's no place like this"
Renovations have begun. Workers estimate it will take at least 90 days to make all necessary repairs.
