Kitchen Fire
Grease ignites in unattended wok
The Mount Pleasant Fire Department responded to a report of flames coming out of the roof of China 1 Buffet, 1711 S. Mission Street, about 3 p.m. Sunday. Fire chief Greg Walterhouse said the fire started in the kitchen while food was being prepared on a grill. One of the cooks walked away from the wok and the grease ignited and traveled upward into the exhaust duct, Walterhouse said. The extinguishing system was initiated and put out the fire. Walterhouse said there was some damage to the kitchen. "They will have to get an inspection from the health department and the fire marshall before they can open again," he said. There were no injuries during the incident.
