Fire ignites inside oven at Westport home

Crews responded to a house fire in Westport Thursday morning.

 

Firefighters arrived at the Charlotte White Road home to find heavy smoke pouring out of open windows and doors. Officials said it appeared the fire started in an oven that was locked during a self-cleaning cycle.

 

Once gas and power were disconnected, firefighters removed the appliance from the home and extinguished the flames.

 

Officials noted that the home remains habitable, since the damage was contained to the oven.
