7/26/2026 | 2037 Hours – Station 25 responded to 1209 W. Wynnewood Road for a report of smoke in a second-floor hallway.

Upon arrival, firefighters determined the smoke was the result of unattended cooking. Crews quickly investigated the incident, ensured there was no extension of fire, and ventilated the affected area as needed before returning the building to normal operations.

Unattended cooking remains one of the leading causes of residential fires. If you’re cooking, stay in the kitchen, keep combustible items away from the stove, and never leave food unattended on the cooktop or in the oven.
