A spectacular noon time blaze destroyed the Perkins restaurantjust outside of the City of DuBois Thursday. The three alarm fire would bring manpower and equipment from a number of departments in both Clearfield and Jefferson Counties. Despite the valiant efforts of firefighters the structure would ultimately be destroyed although everyone inside the building at the time escaped unharmed. Firefighters were able to save the neighboring Burger King although it did sustain some smoke damage. Crews standing by in the staging area would be called on for a fire in another area restaurant when an alarm for an electrical fire was received for the Arby's restaurantin the DuBois Mall. That fire was able to be quickly extinguished.
