LONDON, ONT. -- A Talbotville, Ont. restaurant had to close its doors to the public Saturday morning because of a small fire.

Wayside Restaurant owner Bob Patel discovered the fire in a dryer around 9:30 a.m. and called 9-1-1.

Southwold fire crews quickly put out the blaze.

"Crews got dispatched to general fire alarm which got upgraded en route to a dryer fire. Smoke was showing, made quick entry and knocked the fire down and checking for any extension," said Southwold chief Jeff McArthur.
