No one hurt in a couple of fire calls for the Grande Prairie Fire Department yesterday.

It started with a smoke filled home in south patterson just after the noonhour: A Mountie responding to an alarm smelled the smoke, checked the home to see if anyone was inside and called fire crews.

No major damage--but firefighters did discover the source of the smoke was a pot left on the stove.

Fire officials remind you -- don't leave cooking unattended.

Last night just after 9 o'clock, crews were called out to another blaze, this time in a 4th floor apartment in Westmore Estates in the north end.

Firefighters contained the damage to the suite where the fire started.

No word on a cause or a damage estimate.
