Fire At Stone Mountain Restaurant Ruled Accidental

STONE MOUNTAIN, GA — There were no injuries in a Tuesday morning fire at the Frontera Mexican Kitchen, according to Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services.

The fire started accidentally and was related to an electrical malfunction, fire officials said late Tuesday afternoon.

Crews responded around 8:45 a.m. to the Stone Mountain Highway restaurant after emergency dispatchers received multiple 911 calls. When firefighters arrived, they saw smoke and fire coming from the building's roof.

A cook was the only person inside of the restaurant, who told fire officials that he saw an outside neon light on the side of the business break, which caused a spark that ignited the roof, fire officials said.

Following a search and rescue, the roof collapsed, fire officials said. Crews gained control of the fire around 9 a.m.
