GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — Firefighters put out a restaurant on fire in downtown Green Bay Sunday morning.

The Green Bay Metro Fire Department (GBMFD) said the fire happened at 875 Lombardi Ave around 10:50 a.m.

Authorities reported smoke coming from the vacant building and all the windows were blackened with soot.

Crews on scene said they entered through the glass doors to the business and encountered heavy smoke and high heat inside. They were able to extinguish the fire in about 10 minutes.
