RAYNHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - Authorities have launched an investigation after a blaze broke out at a barbeque restaurant in Raynham early Thursday morning, fire officials said.
Firefighters responding to 2 Jerks BBQ at 701 Broadway around 12:30 a.m. found smoke billowing from the building and flames in the kitchen, according to Raynham Fire Chief Bryan LaCivita.
The fire was quickly extinguished and the scene was cleared around 2:30 a.m., LaCivita said.
