AURORA, Ky. - A popular bar-b-que restaurant could remain closed for several days, or even weeks, after part of the kitchen caught fire at Aurora Bar-B-Que in Aurora, Kentucky.

The restaurant, located just off of U.S. Highway 68, caught fire Monday evening.

Fire crews say they extinguished the flames quickly, but add the damage to the kitchen is significant, and it's likely the restaurant will be closed for some time.

The owner of the restaurant was inside at the time. He was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation.
