A grease fire that started after a dog shut a woman out of her house while
she was frying fish on the stove caused an estimated $50,000 in damage
Tuesday night to a residence in the Seabrook area.

Andre Perrault, who lives in the home, said he was across town when his
wife called him on a cell phone to let him know she got locked out of the
house while food was frying on the electric stove.

"She came outside to put some garbage out," he said, "and our dog closed
the door behind her."

No injuries resulted from the blaze, which was reported at about 5:40 p.m.

Members of the Topeka Fire Department work on a home at 2227 S.W. Seabrook
after a reporter of a grease fire. The fire started after a dog shut a
woman out of her house while she was cooking on the stove.

Firefighters arrived at 2227 S.W. Seabrook to find heavy smoke with flames
shooting from the roof of the 1 1/2-story residence.

"By the time the fire trucks got here, flames were coming out of the south
side of the attic," said Jamie Kidwell, 27, who lives in the same block.
"The flames started catching a tree on fire."

Topeka Fire Department Capt. Greg Degand said the home's residents had
attempted to put out the blaze, which started in the kitchen.

"They thought they had it out," Degand said. "But it had gone up into the
attic."

The initial fire call was for a grease fire in the kitchen, but it soon
changed to a home that was fully engulfed in flames.

Three fire engines and two truck companies responded. A hydrant located
south of the home on S.W. Garden Lane was used to make a "quick knockdown,"
Degand said.

It took firefighters about 15 minutes to bring the fire under control.

Incidentally, I know someone that was dead-bolted out of his apartment
by his dog.
