An apartment fire in North Knoxville has sent two people to the hospital and displaced 19 residents.
Four apartments were damaged in the fire at Windsor Court apartments in the 1000 block of Cedar Lane Thursday night.
Knoxville Fire Department officials said one man was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation, and one man was being treated for burns. There was no word immediately on the severity of the person's burns.
The fire started in a bottom apartment, and the other three affected apartments suffered minor smoke and fire damage, according to KFD.
Fire officials said cooking grease was being heated on the stove and ignited into flames.
The resident, who was burnt, was near the flames when they rapidly spread throughout the kitchen.
The Knoxville Fire Department says not to extinguish a grease fire with water. People should use baking soda or a lid to smother the flames.
