Fire crews responded to a kitchen fire at a home in the 200 block of Mowat Crescent in the city’s Pacific Heights neighbourhood around 10:45 this morning (fri). Once fire crews arrived, they found the homeowner standing outside telling firefighters that there was a fire in kitchen. Crews were able to bring the fire under control by 10:55 and the two cats inside the home were located and safely removed from the home without injury. The fire has been deemed accidental due to combustibles stored on the cooktop. Working smoke alarms alerted the resident about the fire and was able to safely escape with a pet dog. Damage is estimated at $75 thousand dollars.
