After receiving a call of the smell of smoke in the 1100 block of Diamond Avenue Tuesday night, South Pasadena Fire Dept. officials rushed to the scene, entered a residence, and found food burning in a pot on a stove.

SPPD Captain Anthony Porraz said no occupants were inside the home when firefighters went through the front door to eliminate any fire concerns. “We got in the door and found the pot still on the stove,” explained Porraz. “We were able to remove it.”
