While investigating, our Fire Department was able to extinguish the fire initially found at Burger King. Smoke is still present in the area. Waiting for clearance at this time, so operations can resume at Airside 4 (gates 70-99).
Due to the smoke haze still present by the 80-89 gates wing, operations are still on hold in that area. Gates 70-79 and 90-99 are cleared to return to normal operations.
