The Cibolo Fire Dept. did a terrific job at quickly putting out a fire that could have potentially been even more devastating than it was. A relief to business owners and the community that the fire did not wipe out downtown Cibolo.

It started in the kitchen area of Harmon's BBQ and has left a portion of the buildings with some structure damaged and a lot to clean up. Being separate structures (meaning double walls), the neighboring business, Wise Jewelry, was somewhat insulated from the fire spreading into their structure however, the smoke and suet damage that seeped into the store was quite significant.

Harmon's BBQ and Wise Jewelry are slowly recovering with clean-up. The City of Cibolo is working with the owner of the building, Bob Catalano and Ray and Ronnie, the owners of Harmon's to help them reestablish their business as quickly as possible.

Since the restaurant's smoker was not damaged in the fire and Harmon's wanted to get back to businesses ASAP, the Fire Marshal and building officials cleared the adjoining buildings; this allowing them to temporarily set-up shop out of the secondary building.

So, for you Harmon's fanatics...you can still get orders to go.

Many people have stepped forward with Clean-up and efforts to help keep Harmon's in businesses through the holidays. A benefit concert is being planned.......still in the planning stages however, Friday, December 9th will be the date, the same night as the City of Cibolo Tree Lighting Service. 

Will post update by the end of the week.
