A large kitchen fire heavily damaged a Myano Lane apartment Sunday afternoon, according to fire officials. Firefighters were alerted to the blaze after receiving a call from a neighbor reporting smoke coming from several windows of the apartment.
The residents of the apartment were not home at the time, so firefighters had to force their way inside through the front door. Upon entering, firefighters discovered the apartment had heavy amounts of smoke and a large fire in the kitchen, which they quickly extinguished, according to a statement.
"Several walls in the kitchen and the ceiling were checked for additional fire extension as was the second floor," firefighters said in a statement. "There was extensive fire damage to the kitchen, as well as smoke damage throughout the remainder of the apartment."
No one was injured as a result of the fire.
