A fire in Gretna did major damage to a restaurant on Tuesday morning. Multiple fire departments responded to the fire at Jack’s Quick Snack at 101 S. Shelton Rd at around 9:30 am.

According to Gretna Fire & Rescue, engine 221 arrived on scene to find heavy smoke and fire showing from the roofline. An aggressive interior attack was initiated by crews. However, due to a smoke explosion and partial roof collapse, command made the decision to withdraw personnel for safety.

A defensive attack was then launched using Tower 21 and multiple hand lines. Once the scene was deemed safe, crews reentered the structure to complete overhaul operations.

No injuries have been reported and the cause of the fire has not been released. Jack’s Quick Snack has been open since 1972.
