A fire ignited in Comfort during the very early hours Sunday that took down Fati’s Café and roughly 10 units at Comfort Hatchery Apartments on Business Highway 87.
While it remains unclear as of The Star’s Tuesday press deadline what caused the fire to ignite at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, Kendall County Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff Fincke said a preliminary investigation suggests the blaze started in a barn or storage facility behind the café, 7 Business Highway 87, which was formally known as Manny’s Café and once housed The Cocky Rooster Bar.
Seven fire departments – Sisterdale, Comfort, Waring, Boerne, Kerrville, Center Point and Turtle Creek – and the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Department of Transportation responded to the fire. Further, Sisterdale Volunteer Fire Department Chief Brian Reilly said Kendall County Emergency Management Services and the Comfort Water District played critical roles in getting the fire under control.
