A kitchen fire started at about 2:30 p.m. Monday inside Colonial Eatery, 5222 Ridge Road, in Parma. Doug Turner, Fire Department spokesman, said the fire started on a kitchen grill. Witnesses saw flames shooting through the roof but firefighters believe the flames came from the roof vent. By the time firefighters arrived, the fire had been extinguished by dry chemicals automatically sprayed from a hood over the grill. Turner said there was no damage to the restaurant but it was temporarily closed as of today. It cannot reopen until the Cuyahoga County Board of Health approves, he said.
