This morning proved a total loss for two local business owners in Hinesville. The business Jungle Jakes was consumed in a structure fire Wednesday morning around 2:20 a.m. The Hinesville Fire Department responded to the structure fire this morning, and there was heavy black smoke enveloping the building when firefighters arrived on scene. The building, according to HFD Captain Robert Kitchings, had multiple ceilings, and the roof had been replaced several times over the years. Fire investigators entered the building around 8 a.m., and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
