Grease Fire In the First Due
The rescue and chief was sent to the Burger King on Rt.315 this morning for the reported AFA. Chief B was first arriving and reported a smoke condition in the structure and a problem with one of the fryers. Rescue arrived and investigated to find a grease fire that was well contained by the ANSUL system. R166 and R112 checked the interior for extension while L148 checked the roof area. All checks turned up negative. A fan was then placed in service to clear the smoke from the structure. All companies cleared after 45 minutes.
