| Foster Township Firefighters responded to this Thanksgiving Day fire, just as most of their families were getting ready to eat dinner. A stove fire broke out while this resident was making dinner. The oven fire extended through the stove and cooking vent. The cooking vent drew out all the heat and prevented the fire from spreading. The second photo shows the heat that was generated, it melted the vent and buckled the siding of the exterior wall. The elderly residents evacuated the structure, however, firefighters cleared the smoke in the building and they were able to re-enter the residence. | |
