A fire at a downtown bar shut down band rehearsals Thursday night.

Multiple crews and a ladder truck were in front of the Main Street bar around 10 p.m.

The popular spot was not hosting a bar night, but there were bands practicing in the upstairs recording spaces when the fire broke out.

Gerry Suzuki was upstairs when he smelled smoke.

“We thought it was an amp or something on fire so we investigated. We went upstairs and we went downstairs and we saw flames on the first floor on Whiskey Dix.It was at least six feet high and looked like six feet wide. It looked like the middle of the floor was on fire." said Suzuki.

District Chief Ted Humphreys said crews were quick to get the fire under control.

"It was a fire that started in the back part of the building here on the main floor. About 90% was knocked down by the sprinkler system," he said.

Humphreys said everyone got out safely.

There is no word on what started the fire, or how much damage it caused.
