A kitchen fire in the city's east end sent one person to hospital and caused extensive damage.

Crews were called to a three-storey walk-up apartment building at 1170 Hamilton Road near Gore Road around 8 p.m. Tuesday for a report of a fire on top of the stove.

The fire was quickly extinguished and attributed to unattended cooking.

While one person was arrested, there were no charges laid.

One person was taken to hospital with minor injuries and the damage is estimated at $175,000.
