Hubig's Pies building catches fire in New Orleans

WWL-TV reports the Hubig's Pies factory in New Orleans caught fire early Friday morning.

It said flames shot out the back of the building, the area where the pies are made, around 5 a.m.

The building is located on Dauphine Street.

Reports indicate the fire is a 5-alarm blaze.

The Simon Hubig Pie Co. was founded in Fort Worth, TX at the start of World War I.

The New Orleans bakery opened in 1922 in its current Bywater location as part of a chain.

According to the company's website, only the New Orleans factory survived the Depression.
