Mar. 12—URBANA — A fire that forced a popular Urbana tavern to close Monday remains under investigation.

The Urbana Fire Department said today that when units arrived at Bunny's Tavern on 119 W. Water St. they "found light smoke from the roof. Upon investigation it was found that there was fire in the walls and it had entered the structure."

The building was cleared and crews opened walls and ceilings to extinguish the small fire. Damage was kept to a minimum, the department said, but damage estimates are not yet available.

Bunny's reopened this morning.
