Two people had to be evacuated and three people are now homeless after a kitchen fire caused an estimated $25,000 in damage to a Somers Street home on March 31, said Greater Sudbury Fire Services.
Firefighters attended the blaze at 6:45 p.m.
Cooking is the No. 1 cause of home fires, Greater Sudbury Fire Services said in a news release.
“Don't leave your cooking unattended. Always stay in the kitchen while you're cooking — especially if using oil or high temperatures. If a pot catches fire, slide a proper-fitting lid over the pot an turn off the stove. Do not move the pot. Let it completely cool off.”
