The Sneakers Bar & Grill in Stead sustained smoke and water damage after a fire broke out Wednesday morning. Battalion Chief Mike Pilcher says an HVAC crew was doing some repair work with a torch on the roof, when the flame caught an air filter on fire. That filter dropped into the ductwork, quickly filling the bar with smoke. Fire crews got the call at 11 a.m. June 7, 2017 and were quickly able to put out the flames. There was no fire damage to the bar or the surrounding businesses. A preschool next to the building was evacuated for a short time as a precaution.
