Home damaged in kitchen blaze

A cooking oil fire Monday afternoon caused severe damage to an Eau Claire home.

According to the Eau Claire Fire Department:

Crews were dispatched at 3:11 p.m. to a home at 2916 Trinity St. It is owned by LeRoy and Carol Dobrenz.

Upon arrival, firefighters saw smoke coming from the eaves of the home. The fire was quickly knocked down, and the home was ventilated to remove smoke and heat.

The kitchen and living room sustained extensive fire damage. The upper floor received heat and smoke damage, and the lower floor had minor smoke damage. Total damage is estimated at $60,000.

Apparently, an unattended pan of oil on a stove top caught fire, and an attempt to douse it with a fire extinguisher was unsuccessful.

The owners will be staying with nearby family members.
