An unattended pan with grease left on a stove, according to Bristol Borough Fire Chief Herb Slack, was the cause of the fire and smoky conditions at the two-story structure.
Slack also said, there was smoke damage on the first floor and fire damage on the second floor of the home. The second floor fire damage was confined to the hood over the stove, kitchen ceiling and kitchen cabinets.
