There was some smoke damage throughout the building, and one man was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation but not taken to a hospital.

The Cumberland County Health Department is also investigating.

No damage estimates are available and the cause of the fire has been ruled accidental, because of a part failure in the cooker.
