Fast Food Restaurant Has Grease Spilling Into Sewer

Glendale Fire Department and Public Works officials are trying to remove grease that spilled into sewer from a local fast food restaurant.

Spilled grease from fast food eatery Everest is allegedly prompting a sewer clean up. 

Glendale Fire Department and Public Works crews arrived about 9:20 a.m. Thursday at Everest at 3826 Foothill Blvd., La Crescenta, said Mike Urquizo of Glendale Public Works. 

"It's our responsibility to stop it before it gets to the oceans," Urquizo said.
