There are still a lot of unanswered questions as to what exactly caused the fire at McFadden's Bar and Danny's Antique Shop. But crews say it caused a serious amount of damage.

Crews say the blaze broke out about 6:30 Saturday morning and by the time they got on scene, the building was completely engulfed.

By 9:00 crews were still battling flames.

Right now they're unsure of exactly what caused the fire, and where it started but think it may have begun in the back of the bar.

Fire officials estimate there's over $300,000 worth of damage done to the building.

The Granville Volunteer Fire Department, Star City Volunteer Department, Westover Fire Department and Cassville Volunteer Fire Department all responded to the scene as well as Morgantown EMS and the Red Cross.

The State Fire Marshall has been called into investigate. Stay tuned to 5 News for further updates as they become available.
