An early-morning fire was caused by a cooking accident, Orillia’s deputy fire chief says.
Jeff Kirk tells CTV News a person was using oil in a pot to cook fries in the middle of the night and fell asleep.
Fire crews responded to a fire at the house about 3:30 a.m. The person was taken to hospital in Orillia for smoke inhalation.
Damage is estimated at between $20,000 and $30,000.
