Fire investigators say the cause of a fire at a Vincennes Restaurant remains undetermined at this time. Firefighters were called to the China Buffet on North Sixth Street Monday night after a pizza delivery driver spotted smoke coming from the rear of the building.

Fire Chief Sonny Pinkstaff says the fire orginated in a utility room which contained electrical panels, water heater and miscellaneuous food containers. The fire was extinguished shortly upon arrival at the scene.

Damage was estimated at 25-thousand dollars. No injuries were reported.
