Theo's Restaurant in Penticton had to be evacuated this evening (Jan. 12) when flames began shooting out of a chimney on the building.

A chimney fire forced Theo's Restaurant on Main Street to be evacuated tonight (Jan. 12).

Firefighters were called to the restaurant shortly before 7 p.m., arriving to find flames shooting through the chimney. Along with the restaurant being evacuated, Main Street was reduced to one lane of traffic.

Crews used a ladder to access the roof and extinguished the fire before it could spread further.
