The three-alarm fire started around 2:30 a.m. at the Oak Forest Bowling Center, located at 15240 S. Cicero Ave.
"The fire it out for the most part. Once we get these small spots out, we will begin an investigation as to how the fire started," said Deputy Fire Chief Steve Griffin.
The manager of the bowling alley said he and another employee saw the fire and ran outside. They said the flames seemed to spread within minutes. Investigators say the fire was accidental. UPDATE: Fire crews have left the scene. The investigation is ongoing. No cause has been determined at this time.
