A fire destroyed the Paradise Grill in Burrton Sunday night.

Owner Nancy Schmitt tells Eyewitness News Reporter Brian Heapshe heard about the fire around 8:10pm.  The restaurant was  open Sunday between 11:00 and 2:00 pm.

Schmitt has owned the restaurant since late July, when she bought it from a family friend.  She says the business had been doing well and received a lot of community support. 

She hopes to rebuild Burrton's only restaurant. 

"We've got to do it for the community and for us and make it bigger and better," Schmitt said.
