JUST FOOD ON THE STOVE

Elyria – When Firefighters pulled up to a Huron Street home Saturday afternoon they thought they had a working house fire. Upon closer review it was just burning food on the stove.

Neighbors stood outside and could only see smoke coming from an open front door and fire showing from inside the home. As Firefighters arrived on scene the homeowner, who is bound to a wheelchair, had gone back into the house and neighbors were yelling for him to come back outside. As Captain Robert Donofrio approached the house the man was exiting the home. Donofrio entered the home and discovered fire coming from a pot on the stove.

Firefighters covered the pot with a pan and carried the pot outside to let the fire burn itself out.

The home was ventilated before the man was let back inside.
