Fire Damages Woodhaven Drive Home

The exterior of a Woodhaven Drive home caught on fire after a gas grill was set ablaze at about 9 p.m. Sunday night.

A resident of the home was burning charcoal inside the grill, which may have caused it to catch on fire, said Fire Commissioner Steve Toth. The propane tank on the grill was melted and charred as a result.

“We don’t know if it was leaking prior to the fire or because of the fire,” Toth said.

The fire destroyed the grill and spread up the outside of the house, damaging part of it.

The fire did not spread to the inside of the house, Toth said. The fire was extinguished in a matter of minutes.

Two adults and a few children who were home were not injured and no firefighters were reportedly hurt, Toth said.

Fire Companies 3, 4, and 5 responded to the blaze.
