Gates BBQ in Independence Destroyed by Fire
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - The Gates Bar-B-Q restaurant in Independence, Mo., was destroyed in a fire early Tuesday morning.
The Independence Fire Department is on the scene investigating the cause of the fire. Battalion Chief, Mike Ditamore said crews arrived at the scene at about 1 a.m. after an employee called in the fire. Ditamore said the employee spotted the fire around the hood system. Crews spent an hour trying to put the fire out. Ditamore said a water pressure problem also hindered efforts, so crews had to go up a block to tap into another hydrant. No one was hurt in the fire. The Independence location along East 40 Highway was one of six local Gates Bar-B-Q restaurants and was less than three miles from Arrowhead Stadium. |
