On Match 17th at approximately 16:14, the Knox-Center Township Fire Department responded to Burger King in Knox for a reported structure fire. Engine 3 and Ladder 1 responded. Units arrived on the scene to find no fire conditions showing from the exterior of the structure. A light haze was present throughout the structure. KFD members investigated and determined a small grease fire had caused the automatic fire suppression system to activate. There was no fire upon our arrival and very minimal damage was done.
Starke County EMS and Knox Police Officers also responded to the scene.
The Hamlet Fire Department and the North Judson Fire Department also responded as part of our Box Alarm System however were disregarded after no fire was found.
