Firefighters respond to kitchen fire

Three fire departments responded to a fire in a home late Wednesday afternoon in the 19000-block of Sonora-Hardin Springs Road in the Eastview area.

An occupant of the residence told West 84 Fire Department Chief Steve Gore the blaze started as a grease fire on the stove.

Firefighters were able to contain it mainly to the kitchen area, Gore said, and no injuries were reported.

Gore noted there was a good response time to the scene because of the time of day — most of the firefighters in the responding volunteer departments were home from work.
