Minor Kitchen Fire Fills House With Smoke

July 08, 2024 Steve Schwaller

(Milford)– No injuries were reported in a house fire earlier today (Mon.) in Milford. Fire Chief Jim Carpenter tells KUOO news they were called to a residence on Clover Lane a little after 12 Noon today (Mon.). He says the fire was contained to the kitchen area…

“Lots of smoke in the structure and some small flames still in the kitchen. We finished extinguishing that and ventilated.”

Carpenter says it appears the cause was accidental…

“It appears that there was a air fryer sitting on top of the stove and the stove had possibly got bumped on by accident.”

The Milford Police Department assisted on the scene. Carpenter says an officer controlled the fire with an extinguisher until firefighters arrived. They were on the scene about an hour-and-a-half.
