Fire damages Dallas movie theater, cause unknown

A Dallas movie theater was damaged on Monday when a fire broke out at the Studio Movie Grill, officials said. 

The fire started at the theater near US-75 and W. Spring Valley Road just after 4 p.m. Dallas Fire-Rescue crews were called to the movie theatre at 4:01 p.m., where smoke and flames were coming from the roof of the two-story building. An unknown number of patrons and employees evacuated the building before DFR arrived.

The CBS Texas Chopper could see at least a dozen firefighters on the roof of the building, working near a large skylight. 

DFR said firefighters quickly gained access and saw that the electrical equipment was burning, and they extinguished the fire.

There was some interior damage in the main lobby of the building, but none of the theaters were damaged, DFR said.

 No injuries have been reported and the fire was declared out at 4:33 p.m. It is unknown when the theater will reopen.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
