Mid-Missouri fire officials remind everyone to keep on eye on what you have on the stove or in the oven to prevent cooking fires like the two that kept crews busy over the weekend.

Investigators say a small kitchen fire on Whitney Woods Drive in Jefferson City was quickly put out yesterday.

Another case of unattended cooking was cause for a house fire in Columbia Friday night on East Ash Street.

Crews put out smoke and flames coming from the rear of the home. The damage was much more severe totaling $10,000.
