Cause of Fire at ‘Neal & Pam’s Bar and Grill’ Believed to be Electrical

Officials believe they know how Friday’s fire at ‘Neal & Pam’s Bar and Grill’ began. During the town council meeting last night, Surfside Beach Fire Chief Rob Clemmons said that the fire started from an electrical issue with an air blower motor, which is similar to an air conditioning unit and then spread to the rest of the building including the roof. The fire was called in by the bar’s cleaning crew who used a pressure washer to fight the flames before firefighters arrived. A GoFundMe has been created to help staff.
