A kitchen is severely damaged after a fire on the city’s southside.
Thunder Bay Fire Rescue arrived at a home on Harold St before 5pm on Tuesday afternoon where thick smoke was coming out the back of the house.
Crews attacked the fire from outside and were able to safely enter the home to attack from the interior.
Occupants of the home were able to self-evacuate and were accounted for by firefighters.
The single occupant of the apartment could not return due to the extensive fire damage.
Thunder Bay Fire Rescue is investigating the cause of the fire.
Responding units included 5 pumpers, 1 pumper rescue, an Aerial Ladder and the Platoon Chiefs Command Unit.
It’s a good reminder to never leave anything on the stove unattended.
