Unattended cooking oil causes second kitchen fire in Madison this week, fire department says
MADISON, Wis. — Unattended cooking oil is becoming blamed for a next kitchen fire in Madison this week, according to the city’s fireplace department.
The most up-to-date fire took place Wednesday evening at a household in the 2600 block of Waltham Road on the city’s southwest side. In a news release Thursday afternoon, the Madison Hearth Office said a pan of oil on a cooktop started off on hearth right before spreading to a microwave.
Firefighters got to the home about 8:20 p.m. to locate smoke coming from the home’s eaves and front door. As they were about to power their way within, the home owner showed up with keys to let them in.
Crews promptly put out the flames with a water can no injuries had been documented, the fireplace section claimed.
