Customers reported smelling smoke coming from the rooftop and began to evacuate the store.  Investigators believe food left on a rooftop grill was the cause of the fire.  One resident of the second floor apartments was saved by firefighters.  No other injuries reported.

Brickland fire and rescue was dispatched to the local Brickland mexican restaurant “Taco Bricks” for a male with difficulty breathing.  EMT’s determine that the chest pain the patient was suffering was a result of the “all-you-can-eat” guacamole special the restaurant was serving.  EMT’s realized that the patient was to large for the on-scene rescue truck and requested the bariatric truck and an additional engine company to assist with the loading of the patient into the rescue.  Three hours later and several gallons of lubrication, the patient was successfully loaded into the rescue.
