There was a kitchen fire on West Creek Lane this morning with 3 or 4 fire engines responding. Latest reports indicate the kitchen and dining room were involved and some smoke entering the adjoining homes. We are told the fire resulted from heated grease on the stove.
The fire hydrant they tied into, however, now leaks and this is why the water was off this afternoon. This was probably the first time any connections were made to this hydrant in decades. The City is working on this hydrant and will return tomorrow to complete the work.
They will be shutting of one of the main lines while the effect repairs on this hydrant located between 12 and 14 West Creek. The main water line repairs will likely effect sections of West Mountain Creek Drive also.
