Crews arrived on the scene within two minutes and found that restaurant staff had activated the fire suppression system above the fryer prior to their arrival, extinguishing the fire.
Fire crews investigated and determined that the fire had been contained to the fryer and had not spread. No injuries were reported, and crews cleared the scene at 9:50 a.m. The Rock Falls Fire Department was assisted at the scene by the Sterling Fire Department, CGH EMS, and the Whiteside County Health Department.
