The Prescott Fire Department is warning residents about the dangers of pots left on stoves after a fire in a local apartment.
On Tuesday afternoon, firefighters were called to a fire at 780 Susan Street. Twenty firefighters were involved. Smoke was visible from a third floor apartment. While everyone escaped, one tenant did have smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire was an unattended pot left on the stove.
