On the above date and time, fire units were dispatched to a reported investigation of  an oven that caught fire.

Firefighters arrived within 7 minutes of dispatch to find a kitchen fire in a  wo-story residential apartment complex that the occupants and property managers were unable to extinguish with fire extinguishers.

Additional resources were requested from the first arriving  Engine Captain because of the existing fire conditions.

Due to a quick and aggressive attack on  the fire from first arriving units, firefighters were able to limit damage and stop the further spread  of fire into the apartment.

No civilians or firefighters were injured because of the fire, and no  additional structures were threatened or damaged.

As a reminder, ensure that working fire  extinguishers are readily available in the kitchen and carbon monoxide-smoke detectors are  placed in the residence to alert occupants.
