ROSHOLT, WI (WTAQ) - Fire heavily damaged a central Wisconsin tavern.

The Flume Creek Bar in Rosholt started burning around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, an hour-and-a-half after the Saturday night crowd left.

Rosholt is northeast of Stevens Point, and firefighters from both communities helped put out the blaze. Rosholt Fire Chief Chris Kluck said it started in the kitchen area, near a large exhaust fan.

The wooden structure is still standing – but the roof, the interior, and a kitchen wall are heavily damaged.

No one was in the bar at the time.
