A grease fire started at 551 Main Street in Steinbach Monday shortly after 5 p.m.

Steinbach Fire Chief Kel Toews says the resident attempted to carry the pan, which was on fire, from the stove to the outdoors but halfway to the front door she sustained burns to her hands and face and dropped the pan on the floor.

"Damage to the house is basically a little bit of blackening around the oven area and there will be some damage to the floor as well, where the pan was dropped."

Toews says the resident was transported to hospital due to the burns sustained. He estimates the damage to be around $5,000.
