Grease fire at Oliver’s Restaurant contained to grill after hood suppression system fails
POCATELLO — A grill fire at Oliver’s Restaurant on Monday morning was quickly put out with no injuries, but the fire suppression system in the ventilation hood above the grill failed to deploy, according to the Pocatello Fire Department. Crews responded to the restaurant at 130 S. Fifth Ave. after the fire was reported at 7:12 a.m. The fire was contained to the grill, department spokesperson Kim Stouse said. Stouse said the fire was related to a buildup of grease. Restaurant staff tried to put it out with an extinguisher after the hood’s suppression system didn’t trigger, she said. A fire crew arrived within minutes and put out the fire, using a Class K fire extinguisher designed for cooking oil and grease fires. Stouse said the tags on the hood system were up to date and the inspection records were current, but the system still failed to deploy. Hood suppression systems are typically triggered by a fusible link, a metal link made with solder that melts at a set temperature. When the link separates, it releases a cable that trips the system’s control head, which discharges a fire-suppressing agent over the cooking appliances and shuts off the fuel or gas
