This last May, a Houston, TX fire took the lives of four firefighters, known as the deadliest blaze ever recorded in their 188 year old history. Though the cause of the fire was still under investigation when reported, the blaze was believed to have begun in the small kitchen of the Bhojan Resturant, attached to the Southwest Inn. On May 31, 2013, one of the kitchen employees ran into the main hotel and told guests to evacuate. The fact that trapped grease is the suspected cause for restaurant fire that killed four firefighters makes this report even more disturbing.
