That El Pollo Loco is not good. I would not be surprised if there would have been an actual fire.
There's no burger king in poway
It’s smoke from the exhaust, no fire. They just cleaned their grills and that creates a lot of white smoke. Most units canceled.
First truck on the scene says it looks like the smoke is coming from the exhaust on the cooker. They are investigating. But, that doesn’t sound like a huge fire that burns the whole place down
