Acton firefighters were met with heavy smoke and extreme heat and the apartment tenant who had escaped the flames with her two children when they arrived at 1:31 last Thursday morning. Firefighters said the woman told them she was making a snack and left a pot unattended on the stove. The fire was contained to the kitchen, but there was smoke and heat damage throughout the apartment, one of four in the building. Halton police safely evacuated two other tenants from other units in the building.
