Crews received a 911 call from employees at Katy's Dumpling House, 790 Royal St. George Dr. unit 115, around 8:16 p.m. to report a kitchen fire, which was caused by a grease fire in a wok, according to the Naperville Fire Department.

Ten vehicles and 25 fire personnel were dispatched to the scene. Restaurant employees attempted to put out the fire with an extinguisher before crews arrived, according to the fire department.

Once firefighters arrived, employees were escorted out of the building and a few were seen being taken inside an ambulance, however, no injuries were reported.
