A chicken fryer fire will shut down the Quesnel 7-Eleven off Highway 97 for some time.
The Quesnel Volunteer Fire Department arrived on scene quickly, putting out the flames.
They say the fire started on the deep fryer apparatus and spread to the surrounding areas inside the store.
No gas pumps ignited, and there was no damage outside, nor to the structure of the building.
Employees were evacuated, and an ambulance was on scene to treat any smoke inhalation.
Crews said there was some damage to the inside of the store around the area of the fryer, needing an inspection before an estimate on what repairs can be made.
