(KNZA)--No major damage was reported in a Hiawatha apartment fire late Tuesday night.
Hiawatha Fire Chief Patrick Sheldon said the fire department was dispatched shortly after 10:45 to 1400 North 1st Street, Apt. #11, for a possible fire. Also responding were Squad 48, Hiawatha Police Department and Town and Country EMS.
Upon arrival, Sheldon said crews found the apartment completely full of smoke and a fire on the stove.
The fire was contained to the stove and extinguished with a fire extinguisher.
Sheldon said the resident was escorted out by police and fire personnel. The resident was checked by EMS personnel, but was not transported.
Crews remained on the scene until 11:45 removing smoke from the building.
Sheldon reminds residents to check their smoke detectors every month and replace the batteries every year. In addition, he says you should have an evacuation plan and practice it.
