FAYETTEVILLE, NC (WNCN) – Two businesses in Fayetteville were destroyed in a massive fire Wednesday morning, according to the Fayetteville Fire Department.

The call for a fire at the AAA Military Barber Shop and Gyro Kings at 702 N. Reilly Road was received at 1:05 a.m., according to a report by the Fayetteville Fire Department.

Units from Fayetteville and the Fort Bragg Fire Department responded to the fire call and arrived at the scene to find a commercial building with flames shooting out of the roof, the report said.

Units at the scene began “a defensive fire attack…due to the amount of fire upon arrival,” the report said. It took firefighters 30 minutes to extinguish the flames.

According to the report, the building sustained around $95,000 in damage.

The emergency services remained hours after the fire on site to carry out overhaul work. The investigation into the cause of the fire is being conducted by the Fayetteville Fire Department Fire Investigation Team.

No one was injured in the fire or during the response.
