US Highway 8 was closed to traffic for nearly eight hours in Laona Monday because of a building fire.

The Forest County Sheriffs Department reports the road reopened at 2:00 a.m.

There was a large fire at the Silver Lake Inn and Supper Club. It was reported around 6pm.

The fire was in the main building of the restaurant. Several ladder trucks were on the scene trying to put it out. The fire was coming through a portion of the roof, and it's thought that the structure suffered major damage. Firefighters were trying to keep the flames from spreading to the Inn's motel rooms in an adjacent building.

Several fire departments from the area responded, including Laona, Crandon, Wabeno, Newald, and Townsend. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
