Fire crews from five towns are still fighting a blaze at a restaurant in Machias.

The first call of fire at Helen’s Restaurant on Main Street came in around 1:45 a.m.

According to their Facebook page, no one was inside at the time.

The roof of the restaurant has caved in, and the building is almost completely flat.

Crews are still working on putting out the flames and any remaining hot spots.

No word yet on what started the fire, or in what part of the restaurant it began.

Helen’s has been open since 1950. In recent years, the Main Street eatery became known world-wide for its blueberry pie.
