CASCADE, Mont. — Missouri River Bar and Grill, a historic restaurant and bar in Cascade, was destroyed in a fire Friday morning, the Cascade Farmer Rancher City Volunteer Fire Department said.
The department said that the fire was contained to the restaurant, which is located off the Hardy exit across from Prewitt Creek Boat Launch. The Great Falls Airport Firefighters also responded to the fire, sending two firefighters and a 4,000-gallon water tender to help supply water to the area that does not have fire hydrants.
The fire's threat has been downgraded, but the Cascade Volunteer Fire Department is asking people to avoid the area while crews continue working.
Resident Terrie Steiner sent us a video of the flames and smoke, which could be seen from far away. Steiner's video captured the burning remnants of the restaurant, which had completely burned to the ground.
