This was an actual letter sent by a Fire Inspector in Kansas after they had a grease exhaust fire at the Red Robin there. It had just been cleaned by a company less than 72 hours before the fire. Excess grease in the exhaust system was determined to be the cause of the fire.
Don,
If god forbid, we have a fire here and someone is injured or killed (Firefighter or Civilian) given that I can prove it was cause by a hood cleaning company, the next stop will be felony criminal charges with a grand jury indictment.
If a firefighter is killed in the line of duty, because of the Public Safety Officer Death Benefit Act,
Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms and FBI will be more than happy to assist in convicting the responsible individuals
(property owners, cleaning company, persons doing the actual cleaning)
I hear that the federal prison in Leavenworth is nice in the summer.
