Grease fire extinguished

    The fire department was called to the home of Laura Co at 143 West 13th on Dec. 11 after she reported a grease fire on her stove.
    Fire Chief Doug Mitchell said Co placed another pan over the pan that had caught fire to extinguish the flames. That was one of the smartest things she could have done, he said.
    After firemen arrived, they took the stove outside and used thermal imaging cameras to ensure the fire hadn’t spread into the stove vent.
    Firemen also used large exhaust fans to remove smoke from the fire.
    If there was any damage, it was due to smoke, Mitchell said.
