DALLAS (Reuters) - Firefighters in a Dallas suburb returned to their station to find a fire started by potatoes they left cooking on a stove, officials said on Friday.
The fire caused about $125,000 in damages to the station in Lancaster, a southern suburb of Dallas, said Fire Marshal Ladis Barr.
The blaze was extinguished late Thursday night with the help of firefighters from other stations. It damaged the kitchen and living area.
Fire officials also wanted to remind the public to not be as stupid as they were and make sure not to leave food cooking before stepping out.
