Original Post: Multiple Humboldt Bay Fire engines have responded to Surfside Burger Shack on Fifth Street in Eureka to battle a fire inside. Witnesses at the scene report that crews seem to have the blaze under control and are now mopping up. 

The commotion caused the evacuation of those at Saturday night’s show at the Savage Henry Comedy Club — “The Roast of Nic Castagnola,” for what it’s worth — located two doors down. One attendee called in the fire to HBF. No one is believed to have been inside Surfside Burger Shack and no one at the comedy show was injured.

The following video was captured by LoCO colleague Gena Bernabe.

Fifth Street is currently closed between E and F streets. We will update if we hear more.
