Fire damages restaurant by the Dayton Mall

A fire damaged the kitchen at Bravo! by the Dayton Mall.

Firefighters forced their way into the restaurant on Miamisburg Centerville Road in Miami Twp. around 1 a.m.

No employees were present, but crews found smoke inside, according to Miami Valley Fire District Battalion Chief Steve Meadows.

They put out a grease fire in the kitchen.

A firefighter reportedly suffered a minor injury while checking the roof.

The sprinkler system kept the flames from spreading, but the fire did moderate to severe damage in the kitchen, Meadows said.

Meadows also said the restaurant could be closed for a few days.
