A fire ravaged Barrentine’s Seafood Market and Oyster Bar in Dothan early Wednesday morning.
“We believe the fire was caused by an electrical issue, and it doesn’t appear to be related to the cold weather,” said Dothan Fire Deputy Chief Chris Etheredge.
Barrentine’s had been a fixture in the Headland Avenue location for many years, originally starting in downtown Dothan. The business was known as the most popular of its kind in the area.
The fire broke out as temperatures dropped into the teens, amid record snowfall in the region.
