A fire broke out in an Ogden restaurant at approximately two in the afternoon on Wednesday.
The restaurant named Pedro’s is located on the corner of Washington Boulevard and 21st street. The owner, thirty one year old Pedro Sanchez, was in the restaurant at the time of the fire along with one patron, sixteen year old Michael Freeman. Freeman said that he called 911 after seeing smoke coming from the kitchen. Sanchez said he attempted to put the fire out with an extinguisher but was unable to dowse the flames. Three other individuals suffered mild injuries from the fire. Tenants of the apartment above the restaurant suffered some smoke inhalation and were taken to Ogden Regional. The occupants of the apartment were relatives of Pedro Sanchez, Miguel Sanchez and his two daughters four year old Mercedes and two year old Maria Del Mar Sanchez. Medical Team leader Captain Rick Thompson worked on the victims and said “They had some smoke inhalation... [The victims were] taken to Ogden Regional just as a precaution.” Deputy fire Chief Greg Chamberlain said that “it really wasn’t that bad of a fire.”
No other injuries were reported and fire officials said that the building is salvageable. No damage was done to the upper apartments. The owner of the building, fifty-two year old Rachel Calhoun did not make any comments regarding the fire.

Your story was very informative and like your other comments it "flowed" really well. You answered the questions I had about the story as I was reading.
