A fire occurring on Thursday morning, May 29th at the Hangar 6 Air Cafe located at 249 Airport Road next to the Uvalde Flight Center has resulted in the restaurant’s closure. Southwest Texas College Police Chief Jimmy Calliham told the Hesperian the fire is suspected to have started in the kitchen area. He said he was first in the scene and observed smoke.
Skyway Entertainment President Mark Espinoza released a press statement a few hours after the incident.
In the release Espinoza said, ” It is with a heavy heart that we announce a structure fire has occurred at Hangar 6 Air Cafe. This incident has profoundly impacted our SkyWay Entertainment family, and our thoughts are with everyone affected during this difficult time.
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the Uvalde Volunteer Fire Department (UVFD), Southwest Texas College Police, and Uvalde Police Department for their swift and courageous response. Their dedication and professionalism were instrumental in managing this emergency and ensuring the safety of our community.
The safety and well-being of our community and team members remain our top priority. Out of an abundance of caution, Hangar 6 Air Cafe will be closed indefinitely until further notice as we assess the situation and begin recovery efforts.
While this is a challenging moment for all of us, we want to affirm our unwavering commitment to rebuilding. Hangar 6 Air Cafe will come back stronger and better than ever, and we look forward to welcoming back our valued patrons and community once again. We encourage everyone to continue supporting us by visiting our other brands, including Broadway 830, The Local Fix, and Smoothie King.
We sincerely thank our community for your continued support, prayers, and encouragement during this time. Please stay tuned for further updates as we navigate the path to recovery.”
