WARRENSBURG, MO : Cause of Grist Mill fire believed to be accidental on Monday, 30th November, 2020

Fire officials believe the fire that heavily damaged the Grist Mill restaurant was accidental and started in the kitchen.

Glens Falls Fire Chief James Schrammel, of the Warren County Cause and Origin Team, said investigators are unsure of the exact cause at this point. The investigation is continuing.

Fire struck the building at 100 River St. at about 2:15 a.m. Sunday. About 50 to 60 firefighters from area departments had the blaze under control in about two hours.
