It was noted that fire tenders from the Melanie and Mahaica Fire Stations, along with an ambulance and crew, were dispatched to the location.
The Fire Service is pleading with citizens to take the necessary precautions to avoid fire emergencies and to educate themselves regarding fire safety and fire prevention.
Citizens are advised to not leave cooking unattended and to ensure stoves are properly turned off when not in use as well as to keep children away from any cooking area and to ensure matches and lighters are out of their reach.
The Fire Service also urged citizens to make use of fire prevention and firefighting devices such as smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.
