Fire engulfs Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis

STURGIS, S.D. — Flames early Tuesday morning engulfed a popular Sturgis saloon that bills itself as the "world's largest biker bar."

The call first came in at 12:17 a.m. Crews from six fire departments were on the scene just minutes later, but at that time, smoke was pouring out of all the windows. By 12:45 a.m., the fire was through the roof.

The only occupant on the grounds was able to escape without being injured.

The bar on South Dakota Highway 34 has been the subject of a reality television series. Its amenities include zip lines, musical stages and rental cabins.
