The fire was put out in about 20 minutes and is assumed to be a cooking fire. However, OFD is still on scene checking everything to make sure they determine the source.

“Glad that it wasn’t anything more serious especially before the holidays,” Howard said.
Damage to the building is still be determined as well.
