EHS observed small amounts of ash contamination on the floors junction, ice bin exterior, and kitchenware storage in the area where the fire occurred and in process of being cleaned. The owner has decided to open tomorrow and have the whole facility being clean for the rest of the day. All food prepared in the morning could not cool properly in the walk-in cooler due to the power being shut off and was discarded. Majority of the food in cold holding was in compliance and all the cooling units are working properly. The charcoal rotisserie oven has been red tagged and prohibited to be used until approval by the fire marshal.
