The fire occurred Sunday evening and was reported to the fire department around 8:30. When fire fighters arrived, the house’s two occupants were not home. There was some smoke coming out of the kitchen door. There were visible flames through the kitchen windows.

The fire was a result of a cooking fire that spread to cabinets located above the stove. The fire department is not sure what injury caused one of the occupants to be taken to the hospital. The other occupant refused treatment. The fire was extinguished with the help of one large fire extinguisher. The fire fighters then checked the rest of the home for any places to which the fire might have spread.
