--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In response to the fire at Rose hill the other day, the fire was actually caused by a fire in a large oven. The fire was extinguished prior to arrival by the kitchen staff of HUnan Ritz. They failed to call the fire department. The f.d. was notified by the staff of Radio Shack wich is next door. The smoke from the fire got into the ducts and the employees thought the store was on fire and called in a structure fire at Radio Shack. Smoke was present in a couple of other stores. Thornwood and Valhalla vented the stores and checked for extension.
