CHICAGO (CBS) — Firefighters are responding to a large fire at a Love’s Travel Stop in Gary, Indiana.

The fire started around 10:40 a.m. at the Love’s truck stop, which houses a Denny’s restaurant.

Heavy flames and smoke were seen pouring through the roof of the building, but did not appear to be affecting the pumps outside.

Gary firefighters have called in extra crews from nearby departments to help them extinguish the blaze.

Police are asking people to stay away from the area on Grant Street between 35th Avenue and Interstate 80/94, because of the elevated risk posed by the fuel tanks stored on the property.

It’s unclear if there have been any injuries.
