Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) responded to a call for smoke/haze in the kitchen of the recently opened BurgerFi restaurant at Grand Corner Ave in Rio at approximately 7:30am Tuesday morning.
Upon arrival, all occupants were found to be safe and accounted for. MCFRS located the source of the smoke, which was a small smoldering fire in a trash can that was quickly extinguished. There was no extension and no injuries.
The restaurant is currently expected to open as scheduled today.
