Chief 24 arrived on location and confirmed a working kitchen fire. He instructed the first engine in to the rear of the dwelling for the initial fire attack. Engine 252 arrived to the rear and stretched a 1.75" attack line to the back door.

Crews ventilated the house and checked for fire extension. The fire was contained to the kitchen on the first floor.
The fire marshals are investigating the cause. No injuries were reported and the dog is said to be doing well at a local veterinarian. |
