BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — One person is injured after trying to beat back a kitchen fire in Battle Creek.
According to the Battle Creek Fire Department, firefighters were sent to a house on the 100 block of Webber Street to put down a structure fire around noon on Sunday.
Crews arrived within three minutes of the call. On the scene, crews spied smoke showing from the house and extended a hose line to search for the fire, which was found in the kitchen.
