UPDATE: Late Morning Fire Burns Index Court Home

Update: Friday, August 31 at 2:35 p.m.

"The fire appears to have started in the kitchen as a pan that caught fire and extended into the attic," according to fire investigators. "The damage estimate is $100,000 property loss and $20,000 loss of contents."

"The message from this fire is to not step away from anything cooking on the stove for any length of time, especially if there is oil or grease in the pan," wrote Battalion Chief Bill Flora in an email to Patch.
