09/16/2013Routine
Notified by Chesterfield Dispatch of fire. Met CHFD Lt Carl Chandler and store employee who explained that flames flared up during an attempt to filter oil from Henny Penny deep fryer. Bottom of fryer had evidence of large amount of French fry particles and sediment. Employee immediately placed pot over flames. Ansul system did not employ, which fire marshal (who arrived shortly thereafter) attributes to flame not reaching sufficient elevation to activate it because of the pot. CHFD arrived and discharged dry chemical to extinguish the flame.
Requirements prior to re-opening (discussed with District Manager Martin (804-319-9585) who arrived on site:
1. DISCARD all paper, single-use french fry containers staged above fry hold equipment adjacent to fryer, all exposed salad items (sliced cheese, leafy greens, blue cheese crumbles) and single use salad containers at station across from fryer, all remaining fry oil at fryer area.
2. Thoroughly wash, rinse, and sanitize: griddle, cutting boards, toaster and salad station across from fryer,and all utensils staged thereat, and fry hold equipment, stainless steel fry container chutes, fryer, fry baskets, and disassembled frosty machine adjacent to fryer.
Per discussion with fire marshal, ansul system needs professional assessment/check for functionality, but this is not an impediment to re-opening once the above requirements are met.

No violation noted during this evaluation.
