FIRE DEPARTMENT AT HLS; WHO LEFT THE FAN OFF?

Maplewood Police and Fire departments responded to HLS on Springfield Avenue with a full response for what turned out to be a kitchen-related exhaust failure.

Fire Chief Michael Dingelstedt issued this statement on the incident:

The Fire Department responded with a full assignment to an activated fire alarm.

Investigation revealed a smoke detector activation caused by employees cooking on the grill without turning on the exhaust fan. No ventilation was required and no additional action was necessary. All members on scene conducted a building familiarization walk-thru of the entire structure prior to returning to quarters.
