ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — The operators of a barbecue restaurant in Orange Beach say they will reopen after a fire swept through part of the business. 

Orange Beach Fire Chief Mike Kimmerling says the blaze started Tuesday in a smoking pit next to Moe’s Original BBQ.

Kimmerling tells Al.com that some of the flames spread into the attic space of the restaurant, damaging part of the main building. He says there were four patrons and employees inside the restaurant at the time, but no one was injured.

The restaurant says on its Facebook page that it will be “back Rockin’ in Rolllin’ in no time."
