Budgewoi Fire and Rescue has issued a timely reminder that more than 50 per cent of house fires start in the kitchen.
On Sunday, June 11, firefighters were called out to a local house fire.
Luckily the occupants were home to extinguish the stove-top fire and minimise the damage.
After establishing there was no fire extension, the fire crews ventilated and checked the kitchen with a thermal imaging camera and used a gas detector so the occupants could regain entry.
