Damage is pegged at between $15,000 and $20,000 after an apartment fire Tuesday night in uptown Leamington.
A man was treated for smoke inhalation as crews attended a fire in an upper apartment on Erie St. S at 10pm and spent about two hours putting out a kitchen fire. Erie St. was closed while crews battled the blaze.
Unattended cooking gets the blame.
Three people living in the apartment are now displaced and aren't expected to return to the apartment for some time.
