An early morning kitchen fire broke out in Seattle’s Greenlake Bar & Grill on Thursday, damaging several aspects of the restaurant.

At approximately 3:40 a.m., the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) responded to the fire and, minutes later, entered the building to begin dousing the flames, SFD announced.

Shortly after, SFD located that the root of the fire was coming from the kitchen and had extended to the ceiling and roof.

An initial search of the building revealed that no occupants were inside the building at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported.

At 4 a.m., the department reported that the fire was under control and firefighters were working to completely extinguish hot spots.

The fire was completely extinguished just after 4:30 a.m.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. The estimated costs of the damages are currently unknown.
