Fire has consumed about 70% of the Majestic Condos near Branson, and crews from Southern Stone County Fire and Western Taney County Fire have been on the scene since mid-afternoon.

Southern Stone County Fire Protection District spokesman Eric Nielson tells KTTS News that no one has been reported injured, which is very good news.

They are still trying to find out how many people were living in the condos at the time the fire broke out, Nielson says since its normally tourists who stay in places like the Majestic it may take a little longer to get numbers and coordinate anything with the American Red Cross.

At the same time firefighters have been working this blaze, a restaurant in Reeds Spring was in the process of sustaining damage.

Nielsen says the fire at Papouli's Greek Restaurant has been contained.
