Comments:
Sheriffs department called in to inform Health Department of a minor fire at the KFC/Taco Bill #19680. This electrical fire occurred behind a "holding cabinet" in between the drive-thru handsink and fryer units. Fire was extinguished with dry chem extinguisher. County Fire Marshall was notified and power to the facility was shut down temporarily to isolate problem. Power never actually went off to middle area where most of the refrigeration units are. Power was off to walk-ins around 10-20 minutes and doors were kept shut per general contractor. Facility has been given permission from Fire Marshall to reopen pending Health Department approval. All equipment will continue to function as normal operation except for "holding cabinet" which will remain off-line pending building inspection. Outlet will also remain off-line by fryers, wall will be repaired tomorrow. Facility has cleaned area where extinguisher and has discarded all foods that were out when extinguisher was discharged and/or has been out of temperature longer than four hours. Any single service items that could have been contaminated by extinguisher have been discarded. Facility even replaced fryer oil which could have been contaminated. Facility plans on re-opening later this evening. Facility did temperatures at walk-in when power was restored and it was 41 degrees or below but did not record them. Complete food safety audit was to be conducted prior to opening and will be available for file. Any foods that were salvaged were on the opposite side of kitchen from discharge area and were sealed.
