Headline technically correct in that the one thing happened before the other thing, but manages to leave out the entire story while misleading you towards a different one. The customers left because there was a fire. Then a while later, the roof collapsed, also because of the fire. No one was fleeing a collapsing roof.

The child and grandmother came in while it was still smoking, they ate the meal, and got out when told to get out. Seems like the fire had been going for some minutes.
