Smithville Volunteer Fire Department Extinguishes Kitchen Fire

The Smithville Volunteer Fire Department was called to a grease fire at a trailer home on West Main Street Sunday afternoon.
Chief Charlie Parker said the resident left something unattended cooking on the kitchen stove for a few minutes and discovered the fire when he returned. The fire department was notified and arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the trailer.
The fire, confined to the kitchen, was quickly extinguished. It burned the stove hood and charred cabinets around it. No one was injured.
