Local Restaurant Suffers Loss in Fire
At 2 PM yesterday, Pedro's Mexican Restaurant fell victim to what preliminary investigations reveal to be a grease fire. Firefighters pulled three individuals from the second story window of this three story building. Pedro, owner of the restaurant, called for the building to evacuate after failed attempts at extinguishing. Pedro's brother and his two daughters, 4 and 2 years old, were trapped on the top floor. Firefighters were dispatched and arrived on scene, having the fire contained within an hour. They saved the three trapped by pulling them from the second story window. The three were sent to hospital and later released having been treated for smoke inhalation. Surrounding buildings on Washington Boulevard and 21st Street were evacuated as a precaution. Fire Chief Greg Chamberlain said the quick containment and prevented spread was aided by the stone exterior of the building. Rachel Calhoun, owner of the building says she plans on rebuilding and is grateful that no one was seriously injured.

You did well to include a lot of the necessary information, but you may want to seperate into paragraphs. Then you could avoid repeating things, such as explaining twice that three were rescued from the window. Overall, you did well to descibe the incident :)
