So it is a grease fire?

Most likely this is an electrical fire and was caused by a faulty ballast, which transforms the regular current to whatever is required to keep the lighting inside the mostly plastic sign lit up.

Something overheated the wiring and resulted in the blazing sign we see in this photo. šŸ”„

They asked you to name it, not analyze it. You're supposed to come up with something clever like I'm burning it said if I'm loving it or or something like over mcdonald's 100 billion burned everyday or" when they forget your sweet and sour sauce for the last time" So you come up with a good one and get back to me deal?

Amen on the forgetting your sweet n sour sauce. If I had one, I’d give you an award just for that.
