A Peachtree

City restaurant was shut down Wednesday night after a fire that started

in a wastebasket in the men's restroom.

Ruby Tuesday

was closed after the fire because of concerns over "life safety issues"

said Peachtree City Fire Chief Stony Lohr. No one was treated for any

injuries at the scene, however, and the restaurant was allowed to reopen

just after noon Thursday, Lohr said.

"A number

of things needed to be corrected before they opened," Lohr said.

He declined to go into detail, citing the pending investigation of the

fire by the city's fire marshal.

The fire was

reported to officials at 5:53 p.m., Lohr said. Fire crews responded and

extinguished the flames, he added.

There was no

significant structural damage to the restaurant, the chief added.

Representatives

of the Peachtree City Building Department and the Fayette County Health

Department also responded to the scene Wednesday evening, Lohr noted.

All agreed it was best to shut down the restaurant for the rest of the

night, Lohr said.

Lohr noted

that Wednesday was "senior citizen's night" at the restaurant

and it was fortunate the fire did not get out of control.
