Des Moines, IA – Laundromat dryer fire stopped by fire sprinklers; No injuries reported

Des Moines fire crews are investigating the cause of a fire at a laundromat Tuesday morning.

It happened at the Coin Laundry in the 2300 block of East University Avenue at about 9 a.m.

There were no injuries reported in the fire. Traffic in one westbound lane of East University Avenue was closed so crews could work at the scene.
