A house fire erupted in Northeast El Paso yesterday when food left unattended on a stove ignited flames in a residence located on the 10000 block of Kellogg Street. As reported by KTSM, the El Paso Fire Department (EPFD) dispatched crews after receiving a call at 3:12 p.m. on Wednesday. The fire, which has been classified as unintentional, led to three individuals being displaced.
According to the EPFD, they knocked down what they designated as a condition 2 fire, and the Red Cross was contacted to aid those affected. As detailed by KVIA, the crews began additional post-fire operations, checking for any remaining hot spots that could reignite.
Despite initial reports suggesting there were no injuries, updated information emerged with details of an individual sustaining burn injuries. In a house presumed safe after the fire was knocked down, KFOX-TV reported that one person was injured, suffering burns to his hands amid the chaos of the kitchen fire.
