Sugar Shack on West Campus destroyed in fire
The Sugar Shack was destroyed Wednesday afternoon after a spark traveled inside the small food trailer and ignited a fire, according to fire officials.
No one was inside the trailer, which is parked across the street from the University of Texas’ Dobie Dorm at Whitis Ave. and 21st Street, said Austin fire Lt. Josh Portie.
Portie said there was a small fire box outside the trailer and a spark or ember got inside. Damage was estimated at $16,000.
