Unattended cooking causes house fire

YOUNGSTOWN

Reports say unattended cooking was the cause of a fire that caused $20,000 damage to a 2571 Cornwall Ave. home at about 11:10 p.m. Monday.

Firefighters found smoke coming from the home when they arrived and managed to get inside and confine the fire to the kitchen, reports said.

The owner said he was notified by an alarm of the fire while he was at work. When he rushed home he could not get inside because of the smoke and called 911.

The man said his son had been cooking before he came to work with his father.

No one was injured.
