Location: Liverpool
Fire crews were called to a fire at a restaurant on the ground floor of a three storey building on Argyle Street, Liverpool city centre this morning. Crews were alerted at 11.07am and on scene at 11.11am, with two fire engines in attendance.
Crews arrived to find smoke issuing from an extractor system on the ground floor at the rear of the restaurant and used a hose reel jet to apply water to the affected area while attempting to isolate the system.
The gas, electrics and extractor system were all isolated and firefighters checked flats on the first and second floors of the building for smoke spread. Crews monitored the extractor and ducting system which showed a reduction in temperature to a normal level and cladding close to the ducting was cut away to check for smoke spread.
Fire crews left the scene at 1.24pm.
