Flaming Grill, Brick, NJ. (Credit: Google Maps)<\/p><\/div>\n

For the second time<\/a> in a number of weeks, firefighters were called to the Flaming Grill buffet restaurant in Brick\u2019s Kennedy Mall shopping center after a fire broke out.<\/p>\n

Firefighters were alerted to the blaze by an alarm notification that went out just after 7:30 a.m., said Kevin Batzel, the director of the township\u2019s Bureau of Fire Prevention. When firefighters arrived, they found a hibachi-style grill on fire in the rear area of the dining room, Batzel said.<\/p>\n

Flames were being suppressed mainly by a self-contained sprinkler unit over the grill itself, though firefighters had to disable a gas line that was feeding the fire. The fire damage was kept to a minimum, though the Ocean County Health Department was called to examine the smoke damage caused by the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot of smoke damage through the restaurant,\u201d Batzel said, estimating the restaurant will be closed anywhere from one or two days, to a week.<\/p>\n

The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation, though Batzel said it has been determined that a portion of the hibachi grill had been left on overnight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still determining whether or not that was the exact cause of the fire,\u201d Batzel said.<\/p>\n

All of the township\u2019s fire companies responded to the fire, plus township police and EMS units. No one was injured, though a van in the shopping center\u2019s parking lot did cause minor damage to a piece of fire apparatus when it hit it by accident, Batzel said.<\/p>\n
