I'm not really sure.

Does this fall into the same category as a restaurant setting or is it more residential? Like I said, it's a shared common area.

No, I'd say gas grill had too much fuel on it as it was heating up.
01:34
The grease caught fire.
01:35
If you can isolate and tag that grill, that would be sufficient.
01:38
Okay, isolating and red tagging.

Thank you.
