ALABAMA
Restaurant fire blamed on failure to
clean kitchen hood
A late afternoon restaurant fire that
forced the evacuation of patrons and
workers was due in part to improper
cleaning of kitchen equipment, according
to fire department investigators.
The fire department was called to the
scene at 3:30 p.m. following a call to 911
by a restaurant employee. News reports
indicated that smoke and flames were
visible from the roof of the structure
as crews arrived on scene. Firefighters
found flames in the kitchen and ladder
crews gained access to the roof to attack
the fire, according to news reports.
Crews also cut a hole in the roof to
assist ventilation. The fire was said to be
confined to the kitchen area.
All occupants had safely evacuated
the structure.
Investigators determined that
the fire began in a vent hood over a
kitchen stove when grease within the
hood system was ignited by heat from
the stove. The resulting fire then
spread upward through the exhaust
system and through the roof. According
to investigators, the kitchen
hood system had not been properly
inspected or cleaned and cited these
as major contributing factors to the
fire.
The facility was equipped with an
automatic detection system and a wetpipe
sprinkler system.
The building was a single-story structure
with brick walls and an asphalt
roof cover. The sprinkler system was
not activated by the fire.
The fire caused $50,000 in damage
to the building, valued at $200,000,
and an additional $50,000 damage to
contents, valued at $100,000.

scene at 3 a.m., but the residence was

they reached the scene, according to
news reports.
There were seven occupants inside

All of the victims were found on the

YOU CAN HELP MAKE
THEIR JOB A LOT SAFER.
Controlling indoor airflow can be one
of the most effective ways to minimize
fire damage and lower the risk to fire
fighters. Positive Pressure Ventilators
(PPVs) help battle fires and smoke more
effectively. For enhanced protection and
peace of mind, choose AMCA certified
PPVs and fire/smoke dampers. Don't
chance it. Check AMCA.org/certify.
