MONTPELIER — Officials say a sprinkler system put out an apartment fire in the Capital City.
According to a news release, a fire was reported Sunday morning at an apartment building on Elm Street. Fire crews responded and found audible and visual alarms present, but no smoke or fire visible.
Witnesses reported a fire in an upper apartment was extinguished by the building’s sprinkler system, according to the release. Crews investigated the apartment and confirmed the system had confined and extinguished the fire, with damage limited to the one apartment.
Crews also found the building had violations of the life safety code because smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the apartment had been previously removed, according to the news release.
