VIDEO: Investigators are trying to figure out what sparked a fire at a popular restaurant in the Shoals. Right now, they don’t think it’s suspicious.
Stanfield's Restaurant, which is located along River Road in Colbert County, will be closed until repairs can be made after a fire broke out early Sunday morning.
The fire broke out a little after midnight Sunday morning.
Volunteer firefighters kept the blaze contained to the kitchen, where they believe it started. The rest of the building sustained heavy smoke damage.
Nobody was at the restaurant when the fire started, and no firefighters were injured. Brick-Hatton, White Oak and Nitrate City volunteer fire departments all went to the scene, along with Colbert EMA and back up from Muscle Shoals firefighters.
The Alabama State Fire Marshal's office is handling the case since the restaurant is in the county, which is standard protocol.
