Self Cleaning Oven Fills Apartment With Smoke

November 05, 2024 Steve Schwaller

(Spirit Lake)– A report of a possible fire prompted the evacuation of an apartment building late this (Tues.) morning in Spirit Lake. Fire Chief Pat Daly tells KUOO news they were called around 10:50 am to Tall Grass apartments at 4200 Sunner Avenue in Spirit Lake…

“When we got on the scene we didn’t hear, or didn’t see anything, but law enforcement had evacuated the building and said there was heavy smoke inside the building. We went ahead and made entry into the building. The unit was just right inside the door. It was a self-cleaning oven. We just opened the patio door and put our fan in there and vented it.”

Daly says they were able to retrieve a cat that was in the apartment and that no injuries were reported. He says they were on the scene about an hour. Just the one unit in the building was affected.
