At 12:45 am Wednesday, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District firefighters were dispatched to a report of a commercial structure fire at KFC in the 2400 block of Mahogany Way in the City of Antioch.
Crews arrived on scene to locate a working fire with flames coming from the roof and windows of the building with a large column of smoke over the area.
By 1:00 am, a second alarm request was made and firefighters moved to a defensive fire attack as half the building was involved in active fire.
By 1:33 am, the fire was knocked down and by 2:00 am the fire was out. No further details were available.

Good riding’s…that place was nasty and the service even worse.
It was filthy. They should not rebuild it.
Now they offer extra crispy or extra extra crispy.
This city just can not get a break. Proud to have a remodeled motel and new restaurant buildings next to a struggling Lowes. Now back to an eyesore of a burned out building. Our Antioch, our life.
And for life too. You can repaint that sector of Antioch forever and it’ll never change.
Now the put up a Krispy Chicken instead. That KFC was garbage!
Extra Crispy please
Any clue how the fire started? My eyes were burning so bad last night driving down Somersville about 1:15 a.m. Lots of nasty smoke.
I was there three months ago and called corporate when I left to tell them how disgustingly dirty the place was and the horrible attitudes of the workers there. Never heard back from them, I guess they didnt care. O well.
That place was so ghetto, with bad service. A new place for the homeless to hang out at.
I stopped by there only once! When I saw how totally filthy and unsanitary the whole place was, I just turned around and left. Disgusting!
