Restaurant Causes Apartment Fire
A typical day at Pedro's Mexican Restaurant ended in disaster when a grease fire broke out. The restaurant is in the bottom floor of this three story apartment building. Fortunately, only 5 people were in the building, all of which survived. Deputy Fire Chief Greg Marshall said the they have no suspicions of arson, that this was just an accidental grease fire.
Pedro Sanchez, owner of the restaurant, has been in the United States for 2 years. His brother, Miguel Sanchez, and his two nieces, Maria del Mar, and Mercedes, recently came to the country about six months ago and are still awaiting residency. All three were in the apartment building when the fire broke out. Maria, age four, and Mercedes, age 2, were taken to the McKay-Dee Hospital for smoke inhalation, while Miguel was able to be treated at the scene.
Rebuilding of the restaurant look promising for Pedro. “I like being here and people like the restaurant. We hope to grow bigger and people have already offered to help rebuild,” Pedro commented. The apartment owner Rachel Calhoun offered no comment.

Great first sentence! It was a good summary of what happened. My only suggestion would be to make sure you put in the city and location of the fire. But it's hard to put in everything in a short amount of time right? Keep up the good work.
