Jan. 30—Breakfast was dangerously overcooked Sunday by Hall County firefighters.
The crew at Hall County Station No. 5 responded to a residential fire around 10:45 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 29, on Spout Springs Road while they were cooking breakfast.
During the fire, another crew returned to the Falcon Parkway station about 10 minutes later from a medical call to find smoke and a small fire coming from the stovetop.
The stove’s fire suppression system put out the fire while the crew tried to grab the fire extinguisher, according to the fire department.
The fire department said the stove top was left on accidentally, leading to minimal damage to the stove.
No injuries were reported.
