SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Hunan Garden on Emerald Bay Road in South Lake Tahoe is closed after a fire broke out in the kitchen's grease shoot, spreading to the stove and exhaust vent.
At 11:09 p.m. on January 18, crews from South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue arrived at the restaurant and saw flames shooting out of the vents on the roof. Not knowing the extent of the fire they called in Lake Valley Fire and Tahoe Douglas Fire to assist.
The hood system worked and kept the fire in check until the crews could extinguish the fire.
On Saturday morning, the building and health departments were on the scene with Battalion Chief Karl Koeppen to evaluate the damage. The restaurant will be closed until the stove and sprinkler system are back in service, clean-up of the fire aftermath is completed and the building can be re-inspected.
