my guess would be gas leak in the kitchen , the fire dept will figure it out and we'll hear in a few days . very lucky there were no serious injuries . who knows what instinct told you to get out of there early , but keep listening to it

As a former fire fighter, I'm sure glad no one was hurt. That's one nasty looking blaze.

Or a propane tank letting go. Glad to see it looks like everyone got out OK

Here's the word. A propane tank in a steam table exploded. No one was injured, but the building was a total loss. Local officials praised the bikers for moving their bikes out of the way quickly.

I hear they went ahead and had the 38 special concert and proceeds went to owners to help rebuild.
Hope that is true. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes.
