The Hauppauge Fire Department
was dispatched to the report of a working structure fire
at a small popular restaurant on Wheeler Road. On the arrival
of Assistant Chief Thomas Kriklava he observed flames emitting
from the roof area. After confirming that everyone had safely
evacuated the building he checked for the source of the fire
which was the kitchen cooking exhaust duct work. He observed
fire in this duct work and fire which had communicated into
