Barracuda's Temporarily Closed After Fire Breaks Out On July 4th

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Barracuda's, a tavern in the Locust Point neighborhood of Baltimore, is temporarily closed after a fire broke out on Sunday.

Tavern management posted to their Facebook page on Monday saying they would be temporarily closed after a fire suddenly broke out Sunday and spread quickly.

"We're still at a loss for words as we try to make sense of what occurred on Sunday July 4th," the post reads. "The crazy thing about a fire is how quickly it happens.

We are blown away by how quickly our staff, neighbors, fire department, friends & families reacted, remained calm & took charge to help us handle the situation.
