Small fire at Buzzy’s

Real Time Traffic is reporting an issue at Buzzy’s:
2623 E BROAD ST RICH / CrossStreet: N 26TH ST ASSIST FIRE DEPARTMENT, TRAFFIC AND/OR CROWD CONTROL Enroute 10:26 AM SMOKE INSIDE…POSS FROM THE PIZZA OVEN…ALSO SMOKE COMING FROM THE ROOF…COMPL ADVISED EVERYONE SHOULD WAIT OUTSIDE FOR FD
Anybody there? Is everything ok?
UPDATE: Photo via Richmond Fire Department
I know the address is Buzzy’s, but pizza oven makes me think it’s not Buzzy’s but Anthony’s that had the fire. Any confirmation on Buzzys?
Oh no! I hope no one was injured. A pizza oven? Since when does Buzzy’s have a pizza oven though?
Agreed, since when do they have a pizza oven at Buzzy’s? Also the cross street should be 27th, but I can see the city getting that wrong. If it’s Anthony’s then they’re way wrong about the address.
Residents who live above say they’re safe and it was a very small fire in the coffee shop.

Jess, thank you for that news! I live a block away and have been sitting here at work wondering what was going on.
Was there when the coffee roaster started to smoke! We all got out safe, the fire dept was prompt. Smoky, but no fire damage!
From the RTD:
Coffee roaster in Church Hill shop damaged in fire

There was no structural damage to the building, which was being vented after firefighters controlled the blaze.
Hagaman said authorities notified the health inspector’s office, which would have to check on the business before it reopened.
mmmmmm…picture shows fire truck at Buzzy’s – my guess is that the fire was at Buzzy’s, not Anthony’s 🙂
I added the photo after the fire department put it out in twitter.
