Fire damage from inside the building is extensive. The owners of the restaurant for the past 16 years, told CBS4 that they are concerned for their employees.

"Sometimes the hard points in life are the biggest moments... everybody's always dreaming about the future but life is today," said Dozens co-owner John England. "This, unfortunately, is part of ours now, but we have a great crew and hopefully, we've got good insurance."
