Unattended cooking is behind an early morning apartment fire in London.
Fire crews were called to the highrise on Grenfell Drive, east of Adelaide Street North, around 6:10 a.m. on Monday. When firefighters arrived, they were met with light smoke in the 7th floor hallway. Inside a unit on the same floor, a pot was found unattended on a hot stove.
The fire was quickly doused and the smoke vented from the unit and hallway.
No injuries were reported and a damage estimate was not immediately available.
Fire officials are using the incident as a reminder of the importance of remaining in the kitchen when cooking.
"Always stand by your pan. Unattended cooking fires are the number one cause of preventable house fires," a fire department spokesperson said.
