Food On The Stove Sparks Lincoln Apartment Fire

No one was hurt after fire broke out around 3:00 Friday morning in a third story apartment unit near SW 27th & South Street. “Upon our arrival we found the fire had been extinguished by the sprinkler system,” says LFR Captain Nancy Crist.

She tells KLIN News food cooking on the stove started the fire and caused about $75,000 damage.  “They did sustain damage to that kitchen area and adjacent bathroom.”

Crist says there was also water damage to the apartment where the fire started and and to two apartments below.   “We’re thankful that sprinkler system did exactly what it was supposed to do and it kept that fire to the room of origin.”  No one was hurt.
