Getzville Fire Company Chief Scott Preston said firefighters were alerted to the fire around 1 a.m. from both a Twin City Ambulance supervisor and an automatic fire alarm at PizzaWorks two doors down. Smoke filled a few stores at the Maple Forest Plaza and firefighters didn’t initially know where the fire was located. The fire was found at the Subway restaurant by a police officer. Fire crews made entry and fought back flames near the food preparation area. They were aided by the restaurant’s sprinkler system. Thanks to the quick response of firefighters and the sprinkler system, the fire did not spread to other businesses in the plaza. No one was hurt.
