Lexington bar damaged in fire

A beloved Lexington bar was damaged in a fire Friday morning. 

The fire broke out at Belle’s Cocktail House.  

The sprinkler system was working and that helped firefighters contain the flames quickly so that the damage is mostly contained to the roof while the lower floors of the building received smoke and water damage. 

Investigators believe the fire broke out in the building’s mechanical room.

No one was in the building when the fire started, but a firefighter did sustain a hand injury.
