Fire crews were sent to a house near Barnett Avenue between Oak Street and Ford Avenue for a report of haze in the kitchen and a burning smell. The caller evacuated the home, and there were no injuries and no visible smoke or flames. When firefighters arrived, they found a two-story residence with nothing showing from the outside and later reported only an electrical odor, so other units were told to slow their response.
