- Penn Hills - Kitchen Fire
500 block of Hamil Rd
A resident in the 500 block of Hamil Rd, which
runs off Hulton Rd, was cooking lunch when he inadvertently left it unattended
and it exploded in flames catching the kitchen cabinets on fire.
Penn Hills EMS
medics who were first on scene were able to use a hand extinguisher to stop the
flames as firefighters from Stations 222 and 223 were arriving shortly behind
them. The firefighters made sure the fire was totally out and had not extended
anywhere. They then proceeded to remove the smoke as medics treated the occupant
for minor smoke inhalation.
It is always a good thing when a home can be saved
from major damage of a fire. Good work by all the guys and gals of the Penn Hills
Fire and Emergency Services.
