This article first appeared in the St. Louis Beacon - The only fire we’d ever like to hear associated with Ted Drewes would be an Atomic Fireball concrete.

But Sunday afternoon, St. Louis firetrucks were at the classic frozen custard stand on Chippewa. And they weren't getting orders to take back to the station.

Bad news for those who wanted to top off a perfect weekend with their favorites from Ted Drewes, but the good news is that the fire was minor.
