Burning fat causes fire at Memphis food warehouse

There were no injuries, and a damage assessment is being done, according to MFD.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Burning fat caused a fire to break out at a Memphis warehouse Wednesday morning, The Memphis Fire Department (MFD) said.

According to MFD, fire crews responded to the fire at 4:32 a.m. in the 1200 block of Warford St. at Ingredients Corporation of America. When MFD crews arrived, we are told they saw heavy smoke in the area. 

MFD said the burning fat was not hazardous, and no one was injured in the fire. 

MFD said the company would not know if business operations will be interrupted due to the fire until the damage assessment is complete. 

Correction: An earlier version of this story said the fire happened at a Hollywood feed warehouse. It was actually at a neighboring business.
