VIDEO: After the Krispy Kreme in College Station burned down on Monday, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sent 25 agents to assist the College Station Fire Department in its investigation.
The Krispy Kreme explosion happened early Monday morning. Gumby’s General Manager Raul Gonzalez called 9-1-1 when he saw Krispy Kreme on fire, and said he had heard an explosion just before.
“There was only one small flame inside the building, but you could definitely tell that the windows were blown out. It was just like broken. After that phone call [with 9-1-1] , literally two minutes later, there were just more explosions. Smaller ones, but yeah, definitely made the fire bigger,” said Gonzalez.
ATF agents arrived on the scene at Krispy Kreme on Tuesday. In cases like the Krispy Kreme fire, agents are deployed to help local agencies with investigations.
