A woman in the 100 block of Kenwood Avenue suffered burns this evening after a pot full of cooking grease and towels caught fire, according to a press release from the Ann Arbor Fire Department.
Firefighters arrived on the scene at about 6 p.m. to find a fire on the back porch where the pot was burning. A husband and wife living at the home were heating the grease on the stove when it caught fire, according to the release. They tried to put out the fire by throwing towels on the burning grease; when it was not extinguished the woman took the pot out to the porch.
The woman received burns on her chest, arms and legs and was taken to University of Michigan hospital for treatment. Further information on her condition was not immediately available.
There was minor damage reported in the kitchen and the porch.
