PLAINS – Firefighters from the Plains City Fire Department quickly extinguished a small kitchen fire on Stanton Street, in Plains, Saturday afternoon.

One engine responded from Plains City with six firefighters one scene. Shortly after arriving, a call was sent out for Plains-Paradise Rural Fire District and Plains Ambulance to stand down.
The residents all evacuated safely and nobody needed medical treatment. As the firefighters cleared the scene, the residents and firefighters could be seen laughing together.
