Crews Battle Fire at Baker’s Ribs Restaurant in Grapevine

Fire crews battled a restaurant fire at the Baker's Ribs in Grapevine early Monday morning.

Crews from multiple agencies responded as the fire broke out about 3:40 a.m. at the restaurant at 1720 State Highway 26.

Firefighters originally tried to put out the fire from the inside, but realized it wasn't safe and set up ladder trucks to try to extinguish it from the outside of the building, fire officials said.

The kitchen area continued to flare up, fire officials said.

Heavy smoke billowed from the building. Most of the roof is gone, fire officials said.
