Shortly after 11:40 a.m. yesterday, a call was placed to Charlottesville 911 dispatchers regarding a kitchen fire at the Wade Apartments on Wertland Street, Charlottesville Fire Department Capt. Dave Mozee said.
Mozee said the "occupant was heating oil on the stove and it splashed on her." The occupant was able to run out of the apartment, Mozee said, and the sprinkler system activated, putting out the fire. Mozee said the fire caused some water damage to the occupant's apartment and to the apartments below the unit.
"Just pay attention to what you're doing ... you don't want to leave the room," Mozee said, stressing the importance of caution and attentiveness when cooking.
