LAS VEGAS » Firefighters responded to a small kitchen fire at a restaurant at the Treasure Island hotel-casino and smoke at the Paris Las Vegas resort on the Las Vegas Strip this morning.
The Clark County Fire Department said the flame above the fryer in the Senor Frog’s Restaurant and Bar caused smoke and the restaurant at the Treasure Island property was evacuated.
Casino spokeswoman Michelle Knoll said the grease fire started shortly after 10 a.m. Friday on a stove that was preparing food. The kitchen area has self-extinguishing technology that contained the flare immediately.
The fire did sound the alarms, which prompted a large fire department response.
The rest of the Treasure Island property wasn’t affected.
No one was hurt.

Senior Frogs is typically not open until the afternoon but it was operating early Friday for customers viewing the NCAA basketball tournament.
Firefighters didn’t immediately find a fire or the source of smoke that prompted an emergency response to a spa area at the Paris Las Vegas resort at about 10:30 a.m..
Deputy Clark County Fire Chief Jeff Buchanan says firefighters were summoned after a smoke detector activated at the hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.
He says no injuries were reported, no evacuation was ordered, and a source of the haze wasn’t immediately identified.
Buchanan says firefighters stayed for several minutes at the hotel on Las Vegas Boulevard near Flamingo Road, trying to identify what triggered the alarm.
