Kitchen Fire Burns Down Building
Yesterday evening around 2 p.m. a grease fire started, on Washington Boulevard, in the kitchen of Pedro’s Mexican Restaurant. The owner of the Restaurant, Pedro Sanchez, was simply cooking hamburgers for a customer when the boiling grease exploding into flames. Pedro has been living legally in the United States for two years now and says he like it in America and wishes to stay, even with the burning down of his restaurant. Pedro says people in the community have already offered to aide him in the rebuilding of his restaurant.
When Rachel Calhoun, the owner of the apartment buildings, was asked about the fire she refused to give any comments, as she was discussing it over with lawyers.
The Deputy Fire Chief on scene, Greg Chamberlain, arrived to the burning building about five minutes after it had started. “It spread quickly and has smoke damage.” Chamberlain said when asked about the fire, he believes the fire was not started on purpose and has no reason to check it out for arson.
Pedro had a brother and two nieces who where in the apartments above the restaurant. Miguel Sanchez (brother) 27, is here legally and waiting to receive his working papers in hopes to work for his brother and was not injured on the fire, but was treated on scene. The two nieces, Maria Del Mar who is 4 and Mercedes, 2, were taken to McKay-Dee Hospital but were not harmed in the fire.

Nice job on your rewrite of this news story, i liked it a lot better! The only suggestion I have for you would be to put the part about Rachel Calhoun giving no comment, at the very end. That way it's not just randomly in the middle and you article doesn't just end! But keep up the good work!
