A Wednesday evening kitchen fire caused $25,000 damage to an accessory dwelling unit in Yakima.
Firefighters were called around 5:10 p.m. to the small house behind 1419 Roosevelt Ave. for a fire. Arriving crews saw smoke and flames coming from the house, said Shift Cmdr. Tim Kerns.
Crews from four fire engines and a fire truck put out the fire quickly, Kerns said, while the home’s occupants and their pets were able to escape uninjured.
The fire’s apparent cause was food cooking in the kitchen, Kerns said.
