A fire broke out in the El Dorado Bar on 4th Street in downtown Troy on Wednesday night.

As reported by WRGB Channel 6, "According to the Troy fire chief, a bar employee reported flames coming from the back of the bar shortly before 10 p.m. When crews arrived, they found heavy smoke from the bar was traveling up to the second- and third-floor apartments. 

"The bar was open at the time, but just one employee was inside the bar. The employee, as well as those in the apartments above, were safely evacuated. Firefighters say the fire was put out in about 10-15 minutes, and no one was injured. The bar suffered smoke and water damage, but crews believe it is salvageable."
