MOUNT OLIVE, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- Three firefighters were injured in a three-alarm fire that burned down a steakhouse in New Jersey early Tuesday, officials said.

Just after midnight, Mount Olive Township Fire Marshals responded to investigate a commercial structure fire at a LongHorn Steak House located at 50 International Drive South.


"Unfortunately the fire at the LongHorn Steak House could not be brought under control, and the building had to be demolished due to the extensive damage. Incredible efforts were made by the Flanders Fire Department, Budd Lake Fire Department, and the surrounding mutual-aid companies," the Mount Olive Township Fire Marshals wrote on Facebook.

Firefighters from surrounding areas helped battle the blaze throughout the night.

Three firefighters were injured in the flames and are expected to be okay, officials said.

The fire appears to have been gas-fed, WABC-7 reports.

The Morris County Prosecutors Office will investigate the cause of the fire.
