Apparently, last week in Henrico, Virginia a kitchen fire caused a devastating grease fire and closure of the Patterson Avenue Kentucky Fried Chicken and Long John Silver’s Restaurant until further notice. The fire broke out, and the kitchen employees— try as they may, could not get it under control before being fleeing the kitchen for safety. What started in the fryer basket, quickly spread to the hood vent system, and from then on, firefighters tackled the blaze that caused thick black smoke to billow from the roof of the building and the entrance to the establishment. K M Facility Services of Arizona continually warns their customers of such a hazard and knows firsthand that the kitchen fire could have been prevented at KFC/Long John Silver’s restaurant.
