Firefighters are on scene (340 N.E. 99Th Ave.) of a duplex fire. Entry crews found an unattended cooking fire, with no one at the residence. There were no injuries during this incident.
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S.
-Keep dishtowels, paper towels, pot holders, and combustible items away from stove burners.
-When cooking, stay in the kitchen and keep an eye on the stove.
-Don't wear loose sleeves over hot stove burners - they can melt, ignite, or catch on handles of pots and pans
-If a cooking fire starts, smother it with a pot lid. Never throw water on a grease fire, and do NOT try to pick up the pan.
