Food burning on stove at empty apartment prompts city fire to force entry

By Billie Owens

The smell of smoke coming from an apartment at 19 Maple St. prompted city fire to respond and they had to force entry because no one was home. They found burning food on the stove and are now ventilating the residence.

UPDATE 4:52 p.m.: The resident returned. The dwelling was ventilated. The city assignment is back in service.
