UPDATE: Small fire at Westwood Village McDonald’s, 1 person taken to hospital

4:35 PM: Seattle Fire has a full response in the 2500 block of SW Barton, describing it only as a “commercial building.” We’re headed that way to find out more.

4:42 PM: We’ve confirmed the original dispatch was for a “kitchen fire” at Westwood Village McDonald’s. Many of the responding units have been dismissed. One person is reported to have been treated for burns and/or smoke inhalation. The fire was quickly put out.

4:49 PM: Our crew at the scene reports it was believed to be a fire in a fryer. No major interior damage but there’s cleanup to do so the restaurant will be closed for some hours, possibly the rest of the night.

4:59 PM: SFD has closed out the call and its remaining crews are departing.

5:08 PM: SFD says the person who was treated is an “adult male” who has been taken to a hospital and is “in stable condition.”

    Glad no one was seriously hurt. I’ve always thought they should cook the fries more, not catch the place on fire.

    Too bad the adult involved wasn’t a devoted catholic aviator.  You could have run the headline: Friar Flyer Fryer Fire!
