Downtown Stonewall is filled with smoke Friday morning as firefighters battle a massive blaze. 

The fire broke out in a business in the 300 block of Main Street in Stonewall at around 7 a.m. and has since spread to surrounding businesses, including Sig’s Grill, which many celebrities have visited over the years. 

“Farewell Sig’s Grill. A lot of memories,” said a resident of Stonewall on Facebook. “How many celebrities walked through those doors? Paul Walker for one.”
