Unattended Oven Causes Kitchen Fire - Long Island, NY

This household suffered smoke and soot damage as a result of a fire that originated from a forgotten pan of food cooking in the oven.  While the structural damage was luckily not severe, smoke and soot affected many other parts of the home.  Having a working fire and smoke alarm can save lives and structures.  Many people do not have a smoke detector near the kitchen, so fires from the stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, or other kitchens appliances can begin and progress, causing damage before any discovers there is a fire.  Having a kitchen fire extinguisher easily accessible is wise and a worthwhile investment.
