Practice News Story 2: Fire

Fire Claims Ogden Building
Yesterday afternoon around 2:00 p.m a fire broke out on the corner of 21st Street and Washington Boulevard in Ogden, Utah. It is assumed that the fire started on the main floor of the building in Pedro's Mexican Restaurant. Deputy Fire Chief, Greg Chamberlain, said that it appears to be a grease fire due to the fact that the heart of the fire was in the kitchen area. The three story building had five people inside when the fire started and all of them escaped safely. Pedro Sanchez, the owner of the restaurant, has been in Ogden for the past two years building his business. Pedro said, "We were hoping to grow in the restaurant." Pedro has friends that have already offered to help re-build the restaurant. Pedro lives in the upstairs apartment with his brother Miguel Sanchez and Miguel's two daughters. Miguel is currently waiting for the legal papers that will allow him to work with Pedro in the restaurant. The owner of the building, Rachel Calhoun, will not comment at this time.
