Kitchen fire
On Oct. 5, firefighters received a report of a kitchen fire on Coralyn Road. Upon arrival, firefighters observed an alarm sounding from the exterior. During investigation, they observed moderate smoke on the first floor and encountered the homeowner who reported all occupants were out of the structure. The fire appeared to have been confined to the kitchen and extinguished by the homeowner prior to firefighters’ arrival. Firefighters requested an ambulance to evaluate the homeowner for smoke inhalation. Firefighters verified that there was no extension of the fire, and they ventilated the structure. They removed a damaged over-the-range microwave from the house. Firefighters also isolated power and shut the appliance valve to the natural gas range. The homeowner reported that the range may have inadvertently been left on with a food processor and other cookware left too close to the burner. The homeowner also reported that she was alerted by the activated alarm system and used a pot of water to extinguish the fire. Firefighters advised the homeowner to discontinue use of the range and to contact her insurance company to initiate the remediation process.
