Blaze breaks out at Burger King
An accidental grease fire caused heavy damage to Burger King, 833 G.A.R. Highway, on Wednesday.
Heavy smoke was showing through the roof as firefighters responded to the blaze shortly before 2 p.m.
Employees apparently were cleaning the frialator when the fire started, said Fire Lt. Brad Coates.
"They were in the process of cleaning the frialator and something caught fire. It spread to the vent system and to the roof," he said.
Coates estimated damage at $30,000, including extensive interior damage.
He believed that the restaurant would be closed for several days.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze in about 30 minutes.
Chief Scott Jepson "commended firefighters and officers on a job well done and a quick stop," Coates said.
Three engine companies and a rescue unit responded to the scene. There were no reported injuries.
