SEAFORD, Del.- Authorities say a grease buildup is blamed for a Monday afternoon fire at the Seaford Burger King on Route 13.
The Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office says that at around 1:40 p.m., Seaford and Blades firefighters responded to the scene.
Upon arrival they encountered smoke and fire extending from the exhaust duct of the charbroiler.
State fire marshal investigators have determined that the fire originated in the ductwork of the charbroiler and was caused by overheating of the grease build up in the ductwork.
The Burger King will be closed for an extended period time while damages from the fire are repaired. No injuries were reported.
