Personnel with the Baton Rouge Fire Department were called to a house fire in north Baton Rouge, Tuesday morning.
The fire broke out at a residence within the 3400 block of Wenonah Street shortly before 10 a.m. and officials say the blaze was the result of a grease fire in the home's kitchen.
No one was injured during the incident, but the fire caused an estimated $25,000 in damages.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the number one cause of house fires is unattended cooking.
One study says that almost half -44 percent- of reported home fires started in the kitchen; sixty-six percent of home cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials.
