Fire did damage to a kitchen in a home on the east side of Teutopolis Wednesday afternoon.

Teutopolis Fire Chief Tim McMahon said firefighters were called at 4:16pm to the home of Alex Doedtman at 15418 1815th Street in K&N Subdivision. McMahon said someone was cooking on the stove and a grease fire occurred. Efforts to put out the fire with an extinguisher were unsuccessful.

Heavy smoke was showing when firefighters reached the scene. Firefighters contained the fire in the kitchen area, but there was smoke throughout the two-story structure.

No one was injured. Firefighters were on scene about one hour.
