AMMON — Two people were rushed to the hospital Saturday night with burns from hot oil at a local restaurant.
Firefighters were called to The Firehouse Grill on Hitt Road around 7:45 p.m., according to Idaho Falls Fire Department spokeswoman Kerry Hammon. Initial reports indicate the people received burns from hot oil, but officials did not provide other details.
A 45-year-old man was taken by ambulance to the hospital in critical condition, Hammon says. A 20-year-old woman in stable condition was also taken to a local hospital.
“It just saddens us,” Firehouse Grill owner Kevin La Fleur told EastIdahoNews.com.
La Fleur declined to give additional details citing the privacy of those injured.
