The automatic fire extinguishing system in the kitchen did not activate, but the exhaust fan in the kitchen vent hood evacuated most of the heat and smoke, which prevented further smoke damage. The automatic fire sprinkler system activated. Heat caused the fire to spread into the attic. Firefighters extinguished the fire and removed water from the kitchen and ballroom areas. No injuries were reported.
