Fire damages roof of Gates Bar-B-Q in Kansas City
An early morning fire on Friday damaged the roof of a Gates Bar-B-Q Restaurant in Kansas City.
The fire is believed to have started in the ventilation system of the restaurant at 12th Street and Brooklyn Avenue, according to media reports.
The fire eventually ignited part of the roof. The extent of the damage was not immediately available, however that location was expected to be closed Friday, according to media reports.
This is the fourth fire at a Gates Bar-B-Q restaurant in about as many years.
In late 2011, a fire damaged the restaurant at 2001 W. 103rd Terrace in Leawood.
On June 19, 2013, an overnight fire heavily damaged the Gates restaurant at North 10th Street and State Avenue in Kansas City, Kan. The fire was confined to the smoke stack and attic area. It caused an estimated $100,000 in damages.
And in February, a fast-moving blaze destroyed the Gates restaurant at 10440 E. U.S. 40 in Independence. A worker was cleaning the fire pit when the fire started in the exhaust system duct work above a grill and quickly spread throughout the building.
