CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. -- Firefighters believe that food left in a stove caused a kitchen fire in Ontario County.

Several units responded to the scene on Bristol Road just outside of the city of Canandaigua early Thursday morning.

The kitchen suffered major damage before firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze and declared the situation under control.

Smoke detectors alerted the two people inside of the home, allowing them to escape safely before firefighters arrived.
