The cause of the fire destroying a popular Mountain Home area restaurant has been ruled undetermined. According to Northeast Lakeside Fire Chief Henry Porter, the fire did not appear suspicious after Fred’s Fish House on U.S. Highway 62/412 near Norfork Lake was a total loss last week.

Porter says shortly after the fire started, crews arrived around 4:30 Wednesday morning, battled the blaze for nearly 2 1/2 hours and were on the scene for an additional two hours. Northeast Lakeside was assisted by the Henderson, Gamaliel and Mountain Home fire departments.

No injuries were reported from the blaze.
