The Palm Coast Fire Department discovered a fire at Kawa Sushi April 28 while responding to a smoke complaint at the Pizza Hut next door.
The incident occurred at 1:52 a.m. in the Belle Terre Crossing shopping center, according to a social media post from the PCFD.
The initial complaint came from the Pizza Hut, but firefighters determined that the smoke smell was coming from the air conditioning unit.
The crew received an alert at the scene that the sprinkler system at Kawa Sushi, which shares a wall with the Pizza Hut, had been activated. Firefighters found Kawa Sushi filled with smoke, with a fire in the kitchen.
The sprinkler system contained the fire to the kitchen, and the PCFD extinguished the fire. The restaurant had minimal fire damage, but heavy water damage from the sprinklers. A cooking instrument is believed to have started the fire.
PCFD Engines 21, 22 and 23 responded to the scene, alongside Ladder 25, Battalion 25, fire police and Flagler County Fire Rescue 21. No one was injured.
