Grease buildup blamed for fire at Providence eatery

PROVIDENCE -- Fire Department Assistant Chief Michael J. Dillon said today that a grease buildup in kitchen ductwork was responsible for a fire that ruined Downcity Food and Cocktails last week.

A chef was cooking meat when the heat from the stove ignited the grease, he said.

A fire inspector in December had warned the restaurant that the stove hood and exhaust duct system was too greasy.
