Judy’s Fast Food & Bar gutted by fire on Boxing Day

A fast food restaurant on La Isla Bonita was gutted by fire on Boxing Day. The blaze erupted at around four-thirty in the afternoon and is believed to have originated in the kitchen of Judy’s Fast Food and Bar. This video, which was posted on YouTube, shows the San Pedro Fire Department hard at work not only to out the inferno, but to keep it from spreading to adjacent businesses. A massive crowd of spectators gathered, and as is the norm on the island, some of them assisted the officials in battling the blaze. The fire fighters are said to have worked right into the night to out the flames.  Judy’s, a wooden and concrete structure, was completely destroyed, but the nearby supermarket and restaurant were untouched. The fire is said to have been cause by an electrical failure.
