No one was injured in either blaze. The first kitchen fire call came in at about 11:50 a.m. on Nixon Cr. The homeowners had been using their one-year-old self-cleaning oven, however, instead of the heat being con- tained to the oven, flames erupted from the rear vent system, door seams and spread to the nearby countertop and cupboards. Firefighters extinguished the flames with dry chemical extinguisher and dis- connected power to the stove. The homeowner had hand-cleaned the oven before turning it on, said David Ford, Captain-Public Education with Halton Hills Fire Protection and Prevention Services. The second call was at approximately 12:45 p.m. at a Berton Blvd. home. A neighbour called the fire depart- ment after hearing the smoke alarm in the house. When firefighters arrived they saw, through a window, flames coming from the countertop and spreading to the underside of the cupboards. Firefighters forced open the front door and quickly put out the blaze. The cause was an electrical malfunc- tion of a toaster. Ford said the toaster is suspected to be the Black and Decker model ST2000 that is currently being recalled because it poses a fire hazard. Damage was contained to the coun- tertop, wall/backsplash, under side of the cupboards and there was also smoke damage to the main level. Had it not been for the homeowner being home or an alert and concerned neighbour, both homes would have been severely damaged. Two families would have been l iv ing the worst Christmas of their lives with the loss of their home, personal effects, gifts and the shelter of their home, said Ford.
