A kitchen fire caused $500,000 in damage Saturday to Jerry’s Famous Deli in the 12600 block of Ventura Boulevard, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said.
About 55 firefighters battled the 8:30 a.m. blaze, which was reported after a passerby saw flames on the roof. Humphrey said the fire started accidentally in the kitchen and may have spread through the ventilation system.
One employee suffered minor burns to his hands, officials said. Damage to the building was estimated at $250,000, and damage to the contents was another $250,000, Humphrey said.
