Kitchen Fire Damages Huff Place Home

At 1:07 AM Saturday, the CFD responded to a fire at a home in the 2000 block of Huff Place and found fire in the roof. Blue shift crews launched an interior attack and conducted a primary search. They learned that everyone was out of the house. Firefighters had the fire out in 10 minutes. It turns out that the kitchen had been on fire earlier in the evening. The resident thought they put it out with a garden hose and did not call 911. Fire smoldered and ignited in the attic space. Two residents were displaced. With an earlier call to 911 and proper overhaul by the fire department, this could have been avoided. Thankfully, there were no injuries. Engine 5, Ladder 5, Squad 1, Quint 1, Ladder 1, Battalion 1 and Battalion 3 responded.
