Commercial Oven Fire

Madison Fire Department crews were dispatched to the Chang Jiang restaurant, located at 646 S Gammon Rd, for a reported structure fire. A passerby reported seeing smoke coming from the restaurant.
 
Upon arrival, the Ladder 7 crew reported seeing smoke coming from a vent on the roof of the building. The Ladder 7 crew was able to gain entry by forcing the rear door of the building open. Heavy smoke was observed inside the restaurant.
 
The Ladder 7 crew used a thermal imaging camera to locate the fire, which was found in a commercial oven. The fire was quickly extinguished. With assistance from on scene crews, overhaul was conducted and several ceiling tiles were pulled down in order to check for fire extension. A hole was cut in the roof, in order to check for fire extension. The building was subsequently ventilated.
 
At this time the cause of the fire is under investigation and a damage estimate is not available.
