Dozens of patrons were evacuated from the Borders bookstore and Pesce restaurant at Kirby and West Alabama Wednesday night after flames were seen coming out of a rooftop duct and patrons reporting smelling smoke.

The Houston Fire Department was called to 3029 Kirby around 5:49 p.m. and found smoke, but no visible flames.

A grease fire originated in a vent from a wood-burning stove inside Pesce and was contained inside the metal hood, said Asst. Chief Omero Longoria,a spokesman for the Houston Fire Department.
